Combien de temps devons-nous encore attendre jusqu'à l'unité complète de l'Eglise?

In this article we suggest a brief analysis of the situation in which the movement for regaining Christian unity finds itself. We refer to an impetus towards inter-confessional unity that appeared last centuries within an extra- European context. Meanwhile, ecumenical principles have been either ignored or lessened in both bilateral and multilateral ecclesiastical dialogues. There are multiple causes. Therefore, we draw attention towards that, which means the foundation of the ecumenical movement, namely the dialogue of love and the dialogue of truth, which should not be mistaken for the quantitative negotiations for Christian unity. Afterwards we invite at assuming real ecumenism, which ought to bear in mind the secularised Christian context and the religious indifference. Given these challenges, they might be right those, who wonder whether we should go on striving towards unity. However, nowadays, concrete gestures of ecumenical solidarity are still to be found. Finally, we promote the cause of spiritual ecumenism. Pope Francis in 2019 on his visit in Romania spoke about the ecumenism of blood, of the poor, and of prayer. Could, thus, prayer reinvigorate the hope of regaining Christian unity? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
