 KaspertheGhastlyGhost
He told a press conference at Ushaw that the differences in how Christian communities are dealing with ethical matters were not automatically church-dividing; "we have to see if they are differences in pastoral approaches or doctrinal differences, " he said.
While the differences hinder ecumenical dialogue, he said, the situation is further complicated by the internal divisions the issues create, such as the tensions currently felt within the Anglican Communion over the ordination of openly gay men and the blessing of homosexual unions.
Apart from the claptrap about the claim that the "unity" Our Lord desires for the Church has yet to be fulfilled, Kasper erred grievously when he states that "ethical divisions" are a stumbling block to the realization of the goals of ecumenism.
