"I think charging that the Pope "has very little intention to convert people to the Catholic Church" is based on little to no evidence --- so far."

You want evidence. Here's a photo of him kneeling and bowing his head to receive the blessing of Protestant ministers along with Fr. Raniero Cantalamessa.

Do you consider this an attempt to convert those ministers by either Cantalamessa or the future pope to the Catholic Church?

By the way, I know the Ten Commandments and I recommend you practice them more diligently rather than castigate others. I made no charge, as you stated; I merely stated my thoughts.

You are mistaken. In actuality, Cardinal Bergoglio knelt down to receive the blessing of Fr. Cantalamessa. The Protestants decided to join in. What was the Cardinal supposed to do at that point? Make a scene in front of a large audience? Or take the risk that uncharitable folk in the future would distort what actually happened?
