Can you be ecumenical and still Catholic

Bishop Murphy dedicates his weekly “Reflections” column in the Montana Catholic Register to answering the question, “Can you be ecumenical and still be Catholic?” He asserts that ecumenism was one of the goals of the Second Vatican Council. In his view, “Ecumenism asks us to preserve the identity we have in a particular tradition of Church. Being Roman Catholic is more than being Christian; and being Roman Catholic is to recognize our obligation to seek unity with God and with all people.”
