Reform durch Katholizität.

Ecumenical consensus is that the churches need renewal. The present crisis affects its nature, consequently reform must come from the nature itself. This is outlined by the four attributes of the Nicene Creed. The essay examines catholicity with particular focus on ecumenism as practiced by Roman Catholics today. The result is very deficient: uniformism, clericalism, securing power, patriarchalism dominate the agenda, so says even Pope Francis himself. How Catholica could be effectively renewed is discussed in the last part. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
