Pittsburgh Catholic Bishop Cites Roots of Ecumenicalism
The Most Rev. John J. Wright argues ecumenism grew from World War II rather than World War I. He cites postwar relief work, civil rights, and personal friendships as driving forces, and notes Pope John XXIII amplified existing efforts. He calls for a “second wind” and acknowledges Kennedy’s role as a beneficiary of the improved spirit.
