John Paul II quote of the day (Aug. 30)

True ecumenical activity means openness, drawing closer, availability for dialogue, and a shared investigation of the truth in the full evangelical and Christian sense; but in no way does it or can it mean giving up or in any way diminishing the treasures of divine truth that the Church has constantly confessed and taught. To all who, for whatever motive, whoudl wish to dissuade the Church from seeking the universal unity of Christians the question must one again be put: Have we the right not to do it?

-Redemptor Hominis
