Rick Warren’s Call for Christians to Unite With Catholics, ‘Holy Father’ Raising Concerns

In a new video, megachurch leader and author Rick
Warren is calling for Christians to unite with Roman Catholics and “Pope
Francis,” who Warren recently referred to as the “Holy Father”—a move that
is raising concerns among Christians nationwide and is resulting in calls for
Warren to repent.

Warren made the comments following his visit to the Vatican
last month, where he spoke at an interfaith conference on the “Complementarity
of Man and Woman.”

“We have far more in common than what divides us,” he said
in the two-minute video released by the Catholic News Service on Wednesday,
described as being an outline for “an ecumenical vision for Catholics and
Protestants to work together to defend the sanctity of life, sex and marriage.”
