"the opportunities for genuine ecumenical cooperation are extraordinary"

"Much of secular America, and especially the country's mainstream media, is almost wholly unaware of the tide flowing in the American Catholic Church, and would be shocked at rising numbers of Mass attenders in unlikely places....Now that American Protestants and Catholics are both entering eras of growth and confidence -- and they are -- the opportunities for genuine ecumenical cooperation are extraordinary. The 500th anniversary of the Reformation is around the corner. When it arrives, the United States will be a good place to assess how the breach has been, if not filled, then bridged for the benefit of both sides."   Source
