20 MIHÁLY KRÁNITZ ecumenical Encyclical Letter (Ut Unum Sint) of Pope John Paul II, the signing of the Augsburg Joint Declaration on Justification with the Lutheran World Federation in 1999, are the milestones of the common ecumenical results achieved, which we find Cardinal Ratzinger in the design, initiation and implementation too. In the field of theological rapprochement, the ecclesiological clarifications of the Dominus Iesus statement (2000) somewhat hindered the momentum of the search for unity, but these were not written against the churches of the Ecumenism, but with the need for a clear and unambiguous definition of Catholic theology. The theologian Cardinal who was elected as Pope Benedict XVI, always emphasized the importance of the cause of Ecumenism in his statements.
