Cardinal William Levada, prefect for the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, has delivered on Saturday a lengthy address in Kingston, Ontario, Canada . The Cardinal stated that the reception of communities of Anglicans into the Church is consistent with Anglican-Catholic ecumenical dialogue because “union with the Catholic Church is the goal of ecumenism.” Cardinal Levada compared the reception of Anglican communities into the Church to the addition of an instrument to an orchestra. Professing the Catechism of the Catholic Church, these communities will play the same doctrinal notes, yet will enrich the orchestra with another sound.

It's the issue on which Christianity actually defines itself against the others.”
