Although this does not begin to capture Roman Catholic doctrine, I feel as if these were statements that should have been made and expounded upon when the opportunity arose at the Denominational Forum. I left the Forum not being able to distinguish one tradition from another. Although the friendliness and dialogue were welcomed, the watered down doctrine was not. In conclusion Christians can agree on things such as those professed in the Nicene Creed, but, I will not forsake the richness of my faith for ecumenicalism. As Father Nicholas said, we can cooperate but we cannot have unity.
Unity is only through sharing the cup.
