In a message to Pentecostal leaders,  Pope Francis voiced his "yearnings" that separation between Catholics and other Christians would end.

“We have a lot of cultural riches and religious riches. And we have diverse traditions,” he said. “But we have to encounter one another as brothers.”   “Let’s give each other a spiritual embrace and let God complete the work that He has begun,” he said, adding that “the miracle of unity has begun.

It’s sin that has separated us, all our sins, the misunderstandings throughout history. It has been a long road of sins that we all shared in. Who is to blame? We all share the blame, we have all sinned. There is only one blameless, the Lord. He voiced his yearning that this separation ends and that communion be restored. “Let us allow our yearning to grow. Because this will propel us to find each other, to embrace one another. And together to worship Jesus Christ as the only Lord of History.”

Since becoming pope, Francis has expressed a desire for unity with Muslims,  the Eastern Orthodox, the Anglicans and now charismatics.

Kenneth Copeland finds this development incredible stating: “Heaven is thrilled over this…You know what is so thrilling to me? When we went into the ministry 47 years ago, this was impossible.”

Progression or regression, you decide. As for me and my house, we will serve the one true and only living God, the God of the Bible.
