He addressed participants in an international conference entitled - The Global Common Good: Towards A More Inclusive Economy. The conference was convened in Rome and sponsored by the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace. This is the Council which gave us the great gift of the Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Catholic Church. In spontaneous remarks he criticized what he called anthropological reductionism.

I have been criticized for trying to inspire an end to the biggest church fight in history between Catholics and Protestants by calling all sides to repentance and true holiness and an intimate personal relationship with Christ.

And our God is big enough to heal any divide, including those between professing Christians.- James Robison Continue Reading... It's the CATHOLIC WORLD CUP: Who are you praying for?
