description The task of Evangelization becomes even more pressing in our times owing to the need to make Christ known to the ends of the earth. Over the years, disunity inhibited Christians from working together towards attaining this goal. The Decree on Ecumenism of the Second Vatican Council, Unitatis Redintegratio, marked a turning point in the history of the relationship between the Catholic Church and other Churches and Ecclesial Communities because it paved the way for a concrete step, on the part of the Catholic Church, towards the realization Christian unity. The Ecumenical theology of Joseph Ratzinger in the light of the Decree Unitatis Redintegratio studies his stance on how the self-understanding of the Catholic Church guides her relationship with other Churches and Ecclesial Communities. Ratzinger affirms that Christian unity is possible, and it is a slow, painstaking and thorough process. Ratzinger emphasises the fact that true Christian unity is the action of the Trinity. The work is divided into three Chapters. The First Chapter traces the development of the Decree while paying attention to the themes raised therein.
