"The Church grows not through proselytism but by attraction,” Francis said, according to Reuters.
“This means, dear friends, that our mission as baptized persons, priests and consecrated men and women, is not really determined by the number or size of spaces that we occupy, but rather by our capacity to generate change and to awaken wonder and compassion."
Pope Francis has used his two-day trip to push inter-faith dialogue with Islamic leaders. He has also backed Moroccan King Mohammed VI’s efforts to spread a form of Islam that promotes inter-religious dialogue and rejects violence in God’s name."

Sums up his apostasy pretty clearly.

I’m not Catholic, but if I were, I would be very unhappy that Francis is Pope. However, many Christian converts from islam say that the best way to bring a Muslim to Jesus, is to befriend them, build a relationship with them, and love them to the Lord. I have also heard that in Muslim countries, Jesus has supernaturally appeared to some muslims, and revealed Himself to them. While I believe both these scenarios, I also know that Christians are martyred for Jesus, just for being believers, and I don’t doubt many who try to openly proselytize, are martyred for their efforts. In the end, whether it ends in death or the conversion of a muslim, each Christian must do that which he believes the Holy Spirit tells him to do, whatever the cost. These obedient saints are true Christians,and are rewarded much, in Heaven. (Using the term saints, as it is defined in the Greek, believers “set apart”, rather than those elevated to sainthood after death , just to clarify).
