Pope Francis warned Jesus Christ followers not to convince someone to become a Christian, insisting it is a “pagan” activity.
“To evangelize is not to proselytize,” the Pope told crowds gathered in the Vatican for his weekly general audience.
“To proselytize is something pagan; it is neither religious nor evangelical,” the Pope said.

Pope Bergoglio Beelzebub?
To: Sam77
So the popester never heard of The Great Commission.
Bergoglio is a hell of a Christian, a real helluva pope.

I think Jesus will ask him about that one day soon.

Its not only a weird thing to say both Christians and atheists would agree its historically wrong. proselytization wasn’t really a thing in many parts of the world till christianity came along.

So the Chritians in AD-60-325 never “proselytized”?? Or is the current pope merely channeling Roman emperors of AD60-325?
And, if one were to believe Francis, we have to guess Christians did not “proselytize” throughout non-Christian Europe after AD325? nor did they “proselytize” in the “new world” or Asia???? What myths or lies is Francis projecting???
I will admit that forced conversions are not supported by Christian scripture, but that is a different than mere “proselytizing”.

Sounds like something satan would say!

the link is a purely Catholic view, not a biblical Christian one.

"... not to convince someone to become a Christian,
insisting it is a “pagan” activity ...".
I'm no biblical scholar, but it is my belief that any 'pope'
who says that, is a pagan 'pope' who is working for the wrong side.
A 'false flag pope' - if you will.

Imagine it does say in Scripture, that Jesus says “don’t go out and reap the harvest” my paraphrasing. Instead of Christ says, it is blasphemy to convert people to the faith of Christianity.

He’s a wicked spawn of Satan and Catholics better wake up to who quote unquote leads their Church
