The header of this website clearly says "ECUMENICAL AND INTERRELIGIOUS AFFAIRS".
Now, if "ecumenical" and "interreligious" were really a potato/potahto thing, would there be a reason for using both side by side... I'm sure you see my point.
The event is called "Muslim-Catholic Interfaith Iftar Dinner". Interfaith, not "ecumenical".
I didn't watch the video itself. Does the bishop call this relation "ecumenical"?
I don't argue with what the common use is, or seems to be (let alone in the US, where I don't live).
I'd only insist that this particular common use - however widespread - is kind of incorrect, or at least inaccurate, misleading.
