Two words, el Popo:
GREAT
COMMISSION
Sounds absurd but best to get the full text before going to Defcon 5. The actual words may merit only Defcon 1.
There is a precedent. Paul wanted to go preach the gospel to Asia?, but God told him no. Acts 16. That God had preparatory work to do.
Whether this warning from the Pope is spirit led, I’ll leave for y’all to decide.
There’s also the commandments to believing wives of unbelievers to be silent and lead by example. 1 Peter 3:1–6
Apparently not something this "pope" believes in.
Complete INSANITY. How much more proof do my Catholic friends need to see, to know that their "church" has been infiltrated and taken over by EVIL?
IS THE POPE CATHOLIC ?
The so called “seat of Peter” needs a spanking on his “seat”.
No fan of Pope Francis, he sometimes shoots from the hip. I have said many times he drives me crazy. But on this point, I do think he is being misquoted and his statement when looked at deeper talks about Attraction and witness. This Pope associates Proselytism with forced or not sincere conversion. In fact, I am no fan of Proselytism myself. So the full quote is “the Church grows not through proselytism but through attraction and witness.” So Theologically, it is not a problematic statement when I looked up the entire quote.
