Not really.  Billy Graham has been doing this for years, as has Falwell, the Mormons, the Pope and others.

With all due respect, and this coming from a catholic convert, I've never heard the pope preaching what I would consider the gospel, even stretching it.

The pope preaches a pc gospel of all getting along which is fine but misses the mark. The true gospel is that one, as a very minimum, has to believe that Jesus Christ is the Messiah to be saved.

What I have perceived has confused me for years and I'm not knocking the pope as I admire him for his huminatarian efforts.
