Union of Christendom
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Union of Christendom is a traditional Catholic view of ecumenism. The view is that every Christian church is destined to return to the unity which it has broken.[1]
The Catholic Church as the largest, most widespread and oldest Christian denominstion saw itself as a trunk from which other Christian denominations had broken off.[1] This would mean that Christian unity was a reality, present in the Catholic church. However the Catholic Chruch recognised the followers of these churches as Christians, even before Vatican II.
