The encyclical Ut unum sint on its 25th anniversary

The encyclical Ut unum sint was the first on ecumenism in the history of the Church. This May we celebrate its 25th anniversary. In it, John Paul II pointed out the centrality of the ecumenical task with these words: "The movement for Christian unity is not a mere 'appendix' to be added to the traditional activity of the Church. On the contrary, it belongs organically to its life and action." (UUS 20).

John Paul II, in memoriam. Surprise in the election

After a very brief John Paul I, serene, simple and jovial, but aware of the seriousness of the problems and lacking in health, came John Paul II, healthy and athletic, with good humor and poise, great faith and a piety that came naturally to him.
