The deeply true and beautiful expression of Pope Francis’ desire for Christian unity seems anchored to this realization. We “must cry together” because we have failed together. And we can only correct our own failures, not each other’s.
The more we can approach our “separated brethren” with this truth in mind, the more easily we will find the journey toward the fraternal embrace of restored Christian unity. So let’s pray that the audiovisual “hug” offered by Pope Francis becomes a well-worn model that we Catholics seek to repeat again and again with our Christian brothers and sisters.
