What is with this pope?! ➡ Pope Francis warns Moroccan Christians against ‘proselytism’ ~
Pope Francis has asked Christians in Morocco not to actively seek converts to their faith.
In a headline-grabbing homily in Rabat’s Cathedral of Saint Peter this Sunday, the Bishop of Rome told the congregation that although they found being a minority uncomfortable, he did not see it as a problem, suggesting that Christians are meant to be a minority in the Arab world […]
Francis stated that the Christian mission does not consist in baptizing more Christians but in generating “change” and awakening “wonder and compassion.” He said that Christians do this by the way they live with their non-Christian neighbours.
In Morocco, a Muslim-majority country (#35 on Open Doors’ list of the top 50 countries where Christians face persecution), it is a criminal offense to “shake the faith” of a Muslim ~
This law puts many Christians who talk to others about their faith at risk of criminal prosecution and arrest. Advocates for Christians’ rights have also been targeted for violent attack by Islamic militants. While the law only punishes proselytization, converts to Christianity can be punished in other ways, such as loss of inheritance rights and custody of their children.
Although what Morocco is doing is evil and based on an illegitimate belief system, Francis meekly accepts this. What he is essentially saying ~
1. Either what Moroccan Christians believe is a lie, or the eternal souls of Moroccan Muslims aren’t worthy of saving; which implies that,
2. For the last 2000 years, all the saints and martyrs who sacrificed everything for the faith, died in vain; and ultimately,
3. Jesus is just some nice guy – not God incarnate.
Jesus’ last words to His disciples, before He ascended into heaven, were these ~
“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of
the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to
observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am
with you alway, even unto the end of the world.”
~ Matthew 28:19-20 ~
Simply put, if you reject this “Great Commission” you reject Jesus Christ. Time for Francis Bergoglio to end the charade and resign.
