No. Evangelicalism is Gnostic.

Well the Pope speaks of it as if it is a good thing.

Interesting concept, the Pope being Gnostic.

It's good to see that all Catholics aren't in lockstep with the Pope.

Jesus encouraged all of his followers to evangelize and they did just that.

So they would be considered Gnostic also.

Perhaps you are talking about the movement, Evangelicalism.

The stressed the need for personal conversion. (the Pope in this article is in agreement)

They also had an emphasis on teachings that proclaim the saving death and resurrection of the Son of God, Jesus Christ. (different from your post upthread, “The Pope saves souls”)

They were very active in spreading the Gospel and paying very close attention to what the Holy Spirit inspired Bible (The Word of God, Jesus is The Word) guided them to do.
