  Thirdly, the approach to ecumenical “raproachment” that I propose is not a game in which opposing Christian traditions tell the other traditions what they ought to drop, (for that is the old game under a new name), but rather it envisages a new game in which each traditions does some soul searching in order to refocus on core Christianity rather that insist on peripheral issues. Guidance for such soul searching, can be found in awareness of the historical development of various practices and theological ideas. B16’s “doing away with” Limbo is an excellent example, for which he has never received sufficient praise, IMHO.
