From today\u2019s Angelus: <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cJust as one can find that which is not Catholic in the Catholic Church \u2013 that is, in the Church -, one can also find something that may be Catholic outside of the Catholic Church \u201c: this quote from St. Augustine (On Baptism, Against the Donatists: PL 43 , VII, 39, 77) was at the center of reflection that Benedict XVI offered to pilgrims gathered today in the Apostolic Palace of Castel Gandolfo during the Angelus. The Pope \u2013 as he often does \u2013 was referring to the episode narrated in the Gospel of the Sunday Mass (Mark 9: 39-41): \u201ca man, who was not the followers of Jesus had cast out demons in his name. The Apostle John, young and zealous, wants to stop him, but Jesus will not allow him. \u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJesus \u2013 continues the pope \u2013 is inspired by the opportunity to teach his disciples that God can bring about good and even miraculous things, even outside of their circle, and that one can cooperate with the Kingdom of God in several ways, even by offering a simple glass of water to a missionary (v. 41). \u201d<\/p>\n

Thus Benedict XVI underlined the \u201cecumenical\u201d teaching of Jesus in our time: \u201cChurch members should not feel jealous, but rejoice if someone from outside the community do good in the name of Christ, provided this is done with right intention and with respect \u201c. At the same time, he insisted that often jealousy and the desire to block the action of someone also exist within the Church: \u201cEven within the Church itself \u2013 he added \u2013 it can sometimes happen that one can have difficulty in appreciating and recognizing, in a spirit of profound communion, the good things done by the various ecclesial realities. Instead we should all be able to always appreciate and respect each other, praising the Lord for the infinite \u2018fantasy\u2019 with which he acts in the Church and in the world. \u201c<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
