"PUZZLED,"DRUMMOYNE,asks:WhatisthediffewascebetweentheWorldCouncilof Churches,whichisdedicatedtotheEcumenicalMareasasit,andtheVaticanCouncil, -whicholsgisdescribedas"Ecumenical?"

R.:Theword"Ecumenical"meansgeneral,universal, orrepresentativeoftheoneandentireChristian Church.NowtheWorldCouncilofChurchesdoesnot claimtobe"Ecumenical,"buttobededicatedtothe "EcumenicalMovement."Thepluralterm"Churches" isanadmissionthatmemberChurchesbeginfrom disunityand,admittingthattheyoughttoformone unitedChurchastheydonotyet,theseChurchesaim atbecomingthat.Inotherwords,theyaredealingwith ahopenotyetrealised.ForCatholics,however,the VaticanCouncilis"Ecumenical"infact.Itbeginswith unity,notfromdisunityasifseekingunity,those presentrepresentingoneandthesameChurch throughouttheworld.
