This week I’m joined once again by Kristofer Gardana, and we’re talking about some comments made by the pope in which he condemned the “serious sin” of “proselytism.” What did he mean by that? Is it anything like evangelism, or is it something different? And how should we, as Christians, view our responsibility regarding evangelism? We’re going to cover this in our discussion.
STORY – Pope Francis Condemns “Serious Sin” of “Proselytism”
“Pope Francis has once again condemned Catholic efforts of evangelization, stating that ‘Catholicism is not proselytism,’ while adding he has “no explanation” for the drop in vocations in recent decades.”
[…]
“Highlighting this ‘evangelization of culture,’ Francis expanded by saying that he was talking of ‘evangelizing, of announcing, and nothing more, with much respect.’
“Consequently, he argued that ‘proselytism’ was the ‘most serious sin that a missionary can have.’” (Life Site News)
