text: When it comes to ecumenism Pope Francis certainly has his work cut out for him, considering the lengths to which his predecessor went to erase Vatican II's legacy where ecumenism is concerned. 
  
  One of the most un-ecumenical things B16 did was change the texts of the mass without any regard for the work that had been done during the Council specifically to have input from other Christian denominations regarding the texts of the Eucharist. Ever since Vatican II Catholics have been saying many of the same prayers as our Protestant brethren because John XXIII and Paul XI obviously felt that was important. After all, people who pray together stay together, or so it is said. B16's flagrant disregard changed all that, further ensuring that Jesus' last prayer on earth, that "they all might be one" stood less of a chance of coming to fruition. Sad.
