On Good Friday, following up on yesterday's blog, we Catholics pray for Non-Catholics, the ones we were killing or forcing into conversion in our history. Here is this prayer:
For all our brothers and sisters who believe in Christ,
That our God and Lord may be pleased, as they live the truth,
To gather them together and keep them in his one Church.
This is a prayer for unity among Christians, called Ecumenism, so that we can speak the Gospel with one voice, but it does not call for punishment or damnation. Nor does it call upon anyone to force someone to join up. We call one another, brothers and sisters, not heretics, and leave it to God to join us together in one Church. Go visit a Church building of other Christians. Maybe you will find God there?
