Note: some might say, about this: "big deal, is not the Pope's job to convert the world, and how will he achieve that if he doesn't reach out?" This sounds reasonable if Paul VI was actually going to this group to convert them, to teach them the truth. But, the reality was that he was not going to correct them, he was treating them as equals, as brothers who are "Christian," just like Catholics, and by that affirming them in their heresy and sect.
The World Council of Churches is a group that fosters a false unity among the sects in the same manner as the Vatican II sect. It is a scandal that a man claiming to be Pope would give this group any credence by publicly visiting and being photographed there. All sects have no right to exist, and the duty of all of them, as groups, or through individual members have the obligation to submit to the Pope, to join the one true Church, and to profess the true Faith. This WCC is a scandal, it is a group whose unity is not based on truth, it's a group whose unity is based on a political unity. It's an alliance of heretical and schismatic sects.
This from the World Council of Churches website:
The World Council of Churches is a fellowship of churches which confess the Lord Jesus Christ as God and Saviour according to the scriptures, and therefore seek to fulfil together their common calling to the glory of the one God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
It is a community of churches on the way to visible unity in one faith and one eucharistic fellowship, expressed in worship and in common life in Christ. It seeks to advance towards this unity, as Jesus prayed for his followers, "so that the world may believe." (John 17:21)
The World Council of Churches (WCC) is the broadest and most inclusive among the many organized expressions of the modern ecumenical movement, a movement whose goal is Christian unity.
The WCC brings together churches, denominations and church fellowships in more than 110 countries and territories throughout the world, representing over 500 million Christians and including most of the world's Orthodox churches, scores of Anglican, Baptist, Lutheran, Methodist and Reformed churches, as well as many United and Independent churches. While the bulk of the WCC's founding churches were European and North American, today most member churches are in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Latin America, the Middle East and the Pacific. There are now 348 member churches.
For its member churches, the WCC is a unique space: one in which they can reflect, speak, act, worship and work together, challenge and support each other, share and debate with each other. As members of this fellowship, WCC member churches:
are called to the goal of visible unity in one faith and one eucharistic fellowship;
promote their common witness in work for mission and evangelism;
engage in Christian service by serving human need, breaking down barriers between people, seeking justice and peace, and upholding the integrity of creation; and
foster renewal in unity, worship, mission and service.
