You are wrong. Which "spirit" are you speaking of...? It must be an evil spirit. Abortion is ALWAYS INTRINSICALLY EVIL! You may call it growing and developing, as you try to change truth, but you cannot change the truth. God is NOT mocked!
Maybe at America's next big celebration of our Independence from England, the Queen of England with join in the 4th of July celebrations! That would be even less ridiculous than the Pope of the Catholic Church joining in the Lutherans' 500 year celebration of their break from the One. True, Holy Catholic Church. It's EVIL, not Ecumenical. Then, there's the P.R. garbage and the constant barrage of name-calling to try keep the solid Catholics too afraid to comment and call out this wrong doing. Have you ever heard of the story, "The Emperor's New Clothes"? People were so afraid to stand up to the emperor to tell him the truth, except for the honest child. Well, it is time to expose the truth and say that this joining in with the Lutherans is WRONG!
