text: Fr. Reese has given a lot of thought here and has done an excellent job in describing the current reality of ecumenism. What is our next move? Given all the variables perhaps we Catholics (the Common Good before God and Tradition) might adopt the Protestant Principle (the individual before God and Sripture) in most practical matters like reception of the Euchraist in ecumenical settings. I remember back in the late 60s that Canada's eucharistic theologian, dominican Fr. Tillard distributed the Eucharist at communion time with eyes downcast in a welcome posture not unlike Jesus. His gesture taught me a lot. Our individual conscience might be the best way forward instead of waiting for the permission of our respective authorities. Both our Protestant and Catholic "Principles" provide us many ways forward in the grace of the Holy Spirit.
