Pope Benedict XVI issued a declaration on 10 July 2007 which had an immense
impact in the press. According to this declaration, the Pope made it clear that there is
only one true Church of Jesus Christ, namely, the Roman Catholic Church, and that
all other churches are only Christian communities. These âcommunitiesâ are called
âthe separated brethrenâ, and they are to be persuaded to return to the âone true
Churchâ. The problem is the fact that many different denominations really do exist,
and how will the Church become one? It will be shown in this study that Spirit Unity
is the one greatly neglected aspect by the Church, although it should be the most
important.
