Twenty-sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time

For a Doctrinal Homily Outline for the Twenty-sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time, click here.

• Central idea: Value the good others possess; abhor your own evil.
• Doctrine: Ecumenism.
• Practical application: How to be a more ecumenical Catholic.

This post presents (I hope) authentic Catholic thinking on the controversial issue of ecumenism, based on the Sacred Scriptures and the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

Here is a snipped from the outline:

Evil is evil regardless of who does it.

But in a sense, evil done by a follower of Christ is even worse than evil done by an unbeliever, because we know better and have more grace to do what is right.

And evil done by a person entrusted with authority in the Church is the very worst.
