The United Nations isn’t living up to its ideals.

[Pope Francis] has tellingly spoken about what he calls the “ecumenism of blood”, pointing out that today’s Christian martyrs — and there are many — are killed without regard for their denomination.

In this, they understand the reality of our true unity in the Christian faith better than we do. Indeed, by baptism we are already united!
