You do realize, I hope, that he is trying to bring people back into the Church, don’t you?

I have not seen any evidence of this Pope trying to convert non-Catholics. Could you please give some examples, if you can?

I have not seen him doing it during with his meetings with Jews, or Muslims, or Protestants. He certainly didn't do it this past Pentecost, which would have been the most opportune date, to invoke the Holy Ghost, to preach the Gospel of Christ to all nations. Have I missed something?

Contact and invite.

The two steps of evangelization.

All we are seeing at this point is the contact with others of other religions.

I haven’t read anywhere about him inviting people to come back to the one, holy, catholic and apostolic church. But it is the next step for anyone who attempts to evangelize.

On a personal level, I have found that it pays to make friends with people before I invite them to do something with me, like join a Catholic women’s group or pray for vocations.

It takes time and patience.....Catholics are just now learning how to do this.

I have the feeling (really judgment) that this will come.
