ment of the Eucharist to “non-Catholics”!<br />

This too is patently contrary to Divine Revelation, which<br />

prescribes “separation” as well as rejects the mixing «of the<br />

light and dark, between the faithful and unbelievers, between<br />

the temple of God and that of sects.» (<strong>II</strong> Cor. 6, 14-<br />

At the beginning of the document, we are called again<br />

to follow in St. John’s footsteps, in which Our Lord prays to<br />

the Father that all the disciples be one “like you, Father, you<br />
