Fundamental Beliefs of Seventh-day Adventists

. A close cooperation between
Protestants and Roman Catholics
During Ellen White's life a gulf existed
between Protestants and Roman Catholics that
seemed to preclude any cooperation between the
two. Anti-Catholicism raged among Protestants.
She prophesied that major changes within
Protestantism would bring about a departure from
the faith of the Reformation. Consequently,
differences between Protestants and Catholics
would diminish, leading to a bridging of the gulf
separating the two.[17]
The years since her death have seen the rise of
the ecumenical movement, the establishment of the
World Council of Churches, the Catholic Church's
Vatican II, and Protestant ignorance and even outright
rejection of the Reformation views of
prophetic interpretation.[18] These major changes
have broken down barriers between Protestants and
Catholics, leading to growing cooperation.
