The Pope also met with leaders who spoke frankly about such divisive issues as mixed marriages, the ban on protestants Receiving communion at a Roman Catholic Mass, and the Roman Catholic ban on \u201cecumenical Sunday services.\u201d The meetings, though, were understood to be mainly symbolic. The <em>Christian Science Monitor<\/em> notes that the <em>Suddeutche Zeitung<\/em> noted \u201cThe atmospheric rapprochement doesn&#8217;t make a theological and canonical rapprochement\u2026 Nobody understands as well as this Pope how to approach someone cordially, without coming closer to him in substance.\u201d Some seven years later, the tone was markedly different. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/1987\/05\/04\/world\/pope-acknowledges-value-of-the-reformatio.html\">On May 3, 1987, at a Mass in Augsburg he stated<\/a>: \u201c&#8217;Wasn&#8217;t it perhaps even necessary, we might ask here in Augsburg, in accordance with God&#8217;s unfathomable wisdom, for religious schisms and religious wars to occur, in order to lead the church to reflect on and review its original values?\u201d The next day, he went on to celebrate an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.upi.com\/Archives\/1987\/05\/04\/Pope-John-Paul-II-called-on-Christians-today-to\/7654547099200\/\">ecumenical service<\/a> in the Augsburg Cathedral with bishops from the Lutheran Church in Germany. His ecumenical relations with the Lutherans extended to Rome where, on December 11, 1983, he took part in an ecumenical celebration marking the 500th anniversary of Luther&#8217;s birth at the Christuskirche, the Evangelican Luthern church in Rome, where he delivered a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ewtn.com\/library\/PAPALDOC\/JP831211.HTM\">homily<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In his 1982 pastoral visit, the first of a pope to the United Kingdom, oriented toward the Roman Catholic population, but ecumenism was a key focus. The Pope was greeted not only by the Roman Catholic prelates but also the Anglican bishop of the diocese where the airport was located. The second day of his visit, May 19th, was focused on Canterbury and the ecumenical relationship between the two churches. Highlighted by a prayer service, John Paul and the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most. Rev.

Gathering more than 150 leaders of Christian denominations and other religions together, the leaders fasted and prayed jointly for the advent of peace in the world. <a href=\"http:\/\/w2.vatican.va\/content\/john-paul-ii\/en\/speeches\/1986\/october\/documents\/hf_jp-ii_spe_19861027_prayer-peace-assisi.html\">Speaking<\/a> to the leaders of these faiths, the Pope stated that:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-34402 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/jpiiecume.jpg\" alt=\"jpiiecume\" width=\"228\" height=\"147\" \/>The coming together of so many religious leaders to pray is in itself an invitation today to the world to become aware that there exists another dimension of peace and another way of promoting it which is not a result of negotiations, political compromises or economic bargainings.
