Ecumenism?

Whatever happened to ecumenism?

I sat there.. one faithful day during my CCD class.. telling my students that no matter how many different forms of Christianity are there.. the Church is promoting "ecumenism".. the unifying of all christian faiths..

Was that just a lie? Did I just lie to my students?

I hate to say it.. but I'm really angry at the closemindedness of the Catholic Church right now.. yes.. I said it.. I'm angry..

God is Love.. greatest things in the world... faith.. hope.. and love.. and the greatest of the three is love..

Is that another lie too?

Is it just to see how many people the Catholics can get on their team and how many other faiths can get them on their team? Is it just a popularity contest? Catholicism is the universal true church.. ya.. i know.. and i do embrace that.. but still.. love for someone of different faith shouldn't make me a criminal.. that love should be embraced and that love should be nurtured because its' still love in the eyes of our Lord..

I taught my kids that there are differences in the Christian faiths.. but there are four very important similarities that we should all embrace and that is all what makes us Christian..

But apparently it's not truely the case..

I don't want to be angry at a faith that has given me so much.. but at the same time.. it's this faith that's taking away even more..

I don't know what to do.. I don't know what else is left to do..

How can I pray when I feel like I'm not even being heard..
