LTRP Note: The following out-of-house article is another indication of a Protestant move toward the Catholic Eucharistic christ and the pope’s new evangelization program to win back the lost brethren. From Chuck Colson’s “Evangelicals and Catholics Together” document to the evangelical embracing of Mel Gibson’s The Passion (inspired by Catholic mystics) to the emerging church’s chasing of Catholic mystical practices, it has become increasingly apparent that Christianity is being beckoned toward Rome. To read a documented and compelling analysis of this, read Another Jesus.

Mennonites have welcomed the opportunity recently presented to their 1.2 million strong world body to dialogue officially with the Roman Catholic Church on peace and theological concerns, as part of a historic visit to the Vatican.
Ferne Burkhardt, news editor for Mennonite World Conference (MWC) writes: When Mennonites from 10 countries spent five days with Catholic Church leaders in Vatican City, each group was interested in learning to know the other better. The Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity invited and hosted the Mennonite World Conference delegation from 18 – 23 October 2007.
“We were so warmly welcomed that it was almost overwhelming,” said Nancy Heisey, MWC president. “We learned much about how the Roman Catholic Church carries out its mission, and we were able in many of our encounters to share our own understandings, to describe our ministries and to raise our questions.”
The invitation for the visit grew out of the international dialogue between MWC and the Pontifical Council, which took place from 1998 to 2003 and resulted in a 48-page report, “Called Together to be Peacemakers.” …
On Sunday morning, the Mennonites attended a service at the Basilica of St Mary Major where they were introduced to worshippers by the Basilica’s Archpriest. They also prayed together at the catacombs and fellowshipped with leaders of the Focolari, an important lay movement within the Catholic Church, where they heard testimonies of meeting Jesus and of changed lives.Click here to read more of this article.
