Dialogue between
Catholics and Lutherans is essential for reconciliation and must
be constantly pursued, Pope Francis said on Thursday.
In this way, the two Christian denominations can "reach
further agreement on doctrinal content and the moral teaching of
the Church" and "move ever closer to full and visible unity,"
the pope continued.
"2017, the anniversary of the Reformation, is therefore a
privileged opportunity for Lutherans and Catholics to live out
their faith more authentically, rediscover the Gospel together
and seek and bear witness to Christ with new enthusiasm,"
Francis said.
