Ut Unum Sint

A word to us from Pope John Paul the Great on the possibility of Christian unity:



"The courageous witness of so many martyrs of our century, including members of Churches and Ecclesial Communities not in full communion with the Catholic Church, gives new vigour to the Council's call and reminds us of our duty to listen to and put into practice its exhortation. These brothers and sisters of ours, united in the selfless offering of their lives for the Kingdom of God, are the most powerful proof that every factor of division can be transcended and overcome in the total gift of self for the sake of the Gospel."

What about the remaining 5 billion who are not Christians?

Are they living in perpetual darkness?
