Ecumenism is not an "appendix" added to traditional Church activity, but "an organic part of her life and work, and consequently must pervade all that she is and does," wrote Pope John Paul II in his 12th encyclical, titled "Ut Unum Sint" (That All May Be One). The ultimate goal of the ecumenical movement is to re-establish full visible unity among all the baptized."
