REDINTEGRATIO
The word appears in the Decree on Ecumenism "Unitatis Redintegratio". I've just come upon the same word in another source:
"FlensqiouredaV. Hoc est Redintegratio," addressed to "The Brotherhood of the Rosie-Cross," appeared in 1619, with the motto, Omne de Saba veniut, aurum et thus deferentes, et laudem Domini annunciantes, with the following lines prefaced:
O Rosae Fratres crucis, O pia turba sophorum, etc.
Since I don't know Latin, perhaps there is someone who does reading this who could comment upon whether there is a significance to the use of the word in these two instances?
