To: one Lord one faith one baptism

PROSELYTIZE

 

Originally to convert someone from one religion to another, either by bringing a person to full acceptance of the new faith and ritual or at least sympathy with it. The more common meaning, however, is to induce people to change their religious affiliation by using unfair and even unscrupulous means. (Etym. Greek pros_lytos, to convert to Judaism; literally, one who has arrived.)

To: Salvation

So this guy invents a new definition that is not found in any English dictionary to try and cover up the “nonsense” uttered by this pope?
