Paul VI visited in 1969, and John Paul II in 1982. But the visit is important, not least of which because of how it has been framed. The Roman Catholic Church does not belong to the WCC. Historically, the popes have understood their particular calling to guard the church\u2019s unity to be incompatible with joining an outside organization that aims at fostering this unity.\u00a0 Nevertheless, the two cooperate in a number of areas, including ecumenical theology through a \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oikoumene.org\/en\/resources\/documents\/commissions\/jwg-rcc-wcc\">Joint Working Group<\/a>\u201d and via the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oikoumene.org\/en\/what-we-do\/faith-and-order\">Commission on Faith and Order<\/a>. Some of the most important ecumenical work have come out of these joint projects. (Readers might be interested to know that the entire library of Faith and Order Papers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oikoumene.org\/en\/press-centre\/news\/world-council-of-churches-unveils-digital-collection-of-faith-and-order-papers-1\">will soon be available online<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>Ecumenism has long been described as a journey, and the pope today played up this language. <a href=\"http:\/\/w2.vatican.va\/content\/francesco\/it\/speeches\/2018\/june\/documents\/papa-francesco_20180621_preghiera-ecumenica-ginevra.html\">Reflecting<\/a> on a passage from Galatians 5, (the worship aid <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oikoumene.org\/en\/resources\/documents\/other-meetings\/papal-visit\/ecumenical-prayer-with-pope-francis-in-the-chapel-of-the-ecumenical-centre-geneva\/@@download\/file\/PrayerService_Pope_EN.pdf\">is available here<\/a>), the pope called Christians to the difficult work of walking according to the Spirit.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Together we are called to walk like this: the road passes through a continuous conversion, for the renewal of our mentality so that it adapts to that of the Holy Spirit.\u00a0Throughout history, divisions among Christians have often occurred because at the root, in the life of the communities, a worldly mentality has infiltrated: first they nurtured their own interests, then those of Jesus Christ.\u00a0In these situations the enemy of God and of man had an easy game in separating us, because the direction we pursued was that of the flesh, not that of the Spirit.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>But even more notably, the pope admonished his hearers to accept that \u201cto walk in this way is to work at a loss.\u201d This is notable admission in a world where admitting that one does not already have the answers \u2013 that the Spirit might potentially call to give up something that one values. The pope continued:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>We are not afraid of working at a loss!\u00a0Ecumenism is &#8220;a great undertaking at a loss&#8221;.\u00a0But it is a matter of evangelical loss, according to the pathway traced by Jesus: &#8220;Whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it&#8221; (\u00a0Lk9:24).\u00a0Saving one&#8217;s own is walking according to the flesh;\u00a0getting lost behind Jesus is walking according to the Spirit.\u00a0Only in this way does it bear fruit in the Lord&#8217;s vineyard.\u00a0As Jesus himself teaches, not those who hoard bear fruit in the vineyard of the Lord, but those who serve, follow the logic of God, who continues to give and to give himself (cf.\u00a0Mt.21.33 to 42).\u00a0It is the logic of Easter, the only one that bears fruit.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Nevertheless, the stakes are high.\u00a0 The path will lead either to unity or to destruction, for the church is inherently one, the indivisible Body of Christ. Any choice for something other than Christ will lead to destruction. And if believers choose to be one with Christ, they will come to be one with each other.<\/p>\n<p>In a season which has often been called an \u201cecumenical winter,\u201d in which not only the churches, but societies and nations have been choosing paths of division, separation, and non-cooperation, it is even more important that the ecumenical movement not be allowed to whither.<\/p>\n<p>The pope ended his remarks by recognizing the WCC not only as fellow pilgrims towards unity, but rejoicing that\u00a0in his own journey, he\u00a0found fellow pilgrims already on the road.\u00a0 In obedience to the one Lord, we can move forward together trusting that on the other side of any death-to-self to which God might call us, Jesus waits to raise the church to new life.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today Pope Francis made a visit to Switzerland that he has described as an \u201cEcumenical Piligrimage.\u201d It has been a full day of meetings and liturgies, but I\u2019d like to reflect on the fact that the Pope termed this trip a pilgrimage, and highlight some of his comments about ecumenism related to the term.
