Some of the ludicrous things that the sitting Pope has said have rankled even some of the more liberal parishioners of the world, but his latest outrage has even the liberal Catholics concerned.
Now he is telling people that they should not witness (or "proselytize") for the Christian faith, and that no one who tries to convert others is acting in a Christian fashion. This is a clear violation of the words of Jesus Christ, Himself. Check out the article:
Here is an excerpt from the article above:
"According to Breitbart, Pope Francis told a group of high school students that he was visiting with that they should never try to convert others to Christianity…
Pope Francis told Christian high school students this weekend they should respect people of other faiths and not attempt to convert them to Christianity, insisting 'we are not living in the times of the crusades.'
Asked by one of the students Friday how a Christian should treat people of other faiths or no faith, the pope said that 'we are all the same, all children of God' and that true disciples of Jesus do not proselytize.
In fact, the Pope went on to say that if someone comes to you and is trying to share the gospel, that individual 'is not a disciple of Jesus'…
'But listen, the gospel is never, ever advanced through proselytism,' he continued. 'If someone says he is a disciple of Jesus and comes to you with proselytism, he is not a disciple of Jesus. Proselytism is not the way; the Church does not grow by proselytism'.”
Both Nostradamus and Malachi (an Irish mystic priest) are on record claiming that this "Pope" will be the last. It sure seems that if the current occupant of the title gets his way, that this will be because a global apostate Church will take the place of the current Church.
Let's hope that both the clergy and the laity have had enough, and that the insanity of a Pope who doesn't believe, even, in sharing his own faith will soon come to a well-deserved, inglorious end.
