"The Declaration on the Way" is heterodox, vague, and false ecumenism. It picks and chooses statements from Lutheran communities around the world. There is no unity among Lutherans, so the documents released by different Lutheran churches undermines its credibility even as an accurate report of what Lutherans actually believe.

It refers to the Lutherans and the Catholics as "ecclesial communities". The Catholic Church is the only Church established by Our Lord. All other religions are "ecclesial communities." 

The Declaration discusses Catholic and Lutheran views on the Church and the Eucharist, even though both have a distinct and mutually exclusive understanding of what the Church or the Eucharist is. iT pretends divisions don't exist and dilutes the teachings of the Church for false unity.
