YONKERS, N.Y. (CNS) -- Allowing eucharistic intercommunion with non-Catholic Christians would not advance ecumenism but bring it to an end, Father Richard John Neuhaus said in a lecture March 2.More.
"A sure way not to reach a destination is to pretend you've already arrived," he said.
Father Neuhaus said pretending the "real but imperfect communion" that other Christians now have with the Catholic Church constituted the full bond of unity that is required for inviting them to share in the Eucharist would be "an act of duplicity."
