@KingJulesPaul @GydaRagnarsdot1 @Scou_scou13 @jzipple Was that the opinion of Saint Paul or many other Saints who spoke out against these kind of errors ? Staying quiet would just encourage these "statements"

[𝕵𝖆𝖉𝖊 ☧⌖✠🍂🪦 @JadeAtrophis]

Yeah basically

[Venom Rach ☧ @SocialNomadRach]

There are three aspects to the refusal to proselytise - one is laziness, one is fear of persecution, and the third is genuine contempt for those who are outside of God's grace and refusal to give them a chance to get it.

The Jesuits seem to be going full throttle on all three.

@KingJulesPaul @GydaRagnarsdot1 @Scou_scou13 @jzipple Not really, but they don't say that they aren't interested in converting, that's the difference.

Friends, what we see in natural religions—the spiritual but not religious, new age spirituality, Wicca and witchcraft, etc.—are attempts to find community and purpose precisely in a ritualized relationship to some power appreciated as transcendent.

As counterintuitive as it may seem, we can see it as expressive of what the Catholic tradition calls “natural religion,” which is the instinct, deeply rooted in each of us, to search for meaning in the ultimate sense.

This does not mean for a moment that Christians should be satisfied with this, but we should, as many saints did in their own day, meet it and engage it with the word of revelation.

@KingJulesPaul @GydaRagnarsdot1 @Scou_scou13 @jzipple The Cardinal's message is abhorrent and I live in a muslim country, he could have stayed silent, he believes what he says

[Absyrte @Absyrte]

@jzipple Living in a muslim country isn't an excuse to deny the Gospel

[Absyrte @Absyrte]

@jzipple @hf_222222 so what.

[Absyrte @Absyrte]

@FrMatthewLC @CatholicSmark but he used Evangelizer not proselytize.

How is it that the two most spineless and conniving characters in the entire series have actors with more integrity and dignity than the entire leading cast of heroes

Truly remarkable

@hf_222222 If it wasn't for the rehearsed argument and social media videos I wouldn't have come home to the faith, God did it through these very means.

[Bishop Robert Barron @BishopBarron]

Well, another Cardinal has come out with a, shall we say, puzzling take on evangelization.

A few years ago, Cardinal Américo Aguiar, at the time auxiliary bishop of Lisbon, said that he and the other organizers of World Youth Day in his hometown had no interest in converting anyone to Christ.

Now Cardinal Jean-Paul Vesco of Algeria has opined that “the Church is not there to convert” and “Christians should approach other religions through fraternity rather than seeking conversions.”

Excuse me, but…what?

Last time I checked, the Founder said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” Sure sounds like conversion to me.

When St. Paul came to Corinth or Athens or Thessalonica, his purpose was not to listen or to form a discussion group but rather to declare an unnerving message: the euangelion (glad tidings) that Jesus Christ is risen from the dead.

So impassioned is he for this work that he says, “I have become all things to all people, that I might by all means save some. I do it all for the sake of the gospel” (1 Cor. 9:22); and “If I proclaim the gospel, this gives me no ground for boasting, for an obligation is laid on me, and woe to me if I do not proclaim the gospel” (1 Cor. 9:16)!

Moreover, the entire thrust of the Second Vatican Council was toward bringing the Light of Christ to the peoples of the world (Lumen Gentium). And this missionary élan has given rise in the last few decades to the idea of a “new evangelization,” which is to say, a fresh declaration of the Lordship of Christ.

Quite obviously, no one thinks that this work of evangelization should be done in a brow-beating, overbearing, or disrespectful manner (proselytization), but for God’s sake, let’s not throw the baby out with the bathwater.

If I really thought that the Church does not exist to bring people to Christ, then I would resign and get an honest job.

[Absyrte @Absyrte]

@CatholicSmark It was always that and any muslim convert will tell you that, they have simply abdicated the mission to evangelize, Lord have mercy.

[Absyrte @Absyrte]

@JadeAtrophis They did write themselves some "science fiction" of people going to space, since the rennaissance or even before, I think walking on the moon was always part of the human imagination

Church started with 11 scared men locked in a room for fear of their lives.
