VATICAN CITY - Pope Benedict XVI pressed ahead with his appeals for a unified church Thursday as he a celebrated a Mass in St. Peter's Basilica attended by a delegation of Orthodox Christians.
Benedict has made uniting all Christians and healing the 1,000-year-old rift with the Orthodox a primal goal of his papacy.

All Christians are part of the catholic (little c) Church and part of the Body of Christ.
The Bible encourages us to be in agreement and to work together.
All Christians should have the unity of the Body of Christ as a goal.
With love in Christ.

I saw that and posted it on my own site. It can be viewed as both good and bad; some think that the Roman Catholic Church will ultimately be responsible for the "one world religion" during the last days. The Catholic Church has been doing some big time ecunumical stuff lately... really trying to bring the daughter Christian sects together and reaching out to the Muslim community in Rome as well.
