The Pope wants to hang out with Kenneth Copeland. I’m not so sure the Pope is in touch with a higher power if he can’t see through that fraud.

The pope trusts in Jesus. He wants ALL of us to, completely. Jesus will guide you closer to Him(Jesus) if you are open to it and become passionate about getting closer to Him by bringing His Joy from within you to all those you meet in person.

He wants to encourage that everywhere. Catholics, evangelicals. Their ever-deeper ferver and outward witnessing of Christ is what God desires. That would make a ‘perfect’ Catholic. Evangelicals would say a ‘perfect’ evangelical. Jesus would say His one holy catholic church.

Allow a man the chance to get closer and closer to Christ - don’t knock him back because he’s currently following this path or that, or seeing this denomination as the truest path to Jesus - encourage him to love Jesus more every day and go out and witness for Him with joy.

YOU and I need to trust in Jesus too - not try to convert people but to love them and bring them the joy of Christ in a person to person way. The one holy catholic Church will result for you and many of those people you encounter....in time. Rather than knock another denomination or a CINO (Catholic in name only), befriend them joyfully and Trust in Jesus to do whatever He wants!

The pope converts no one - the Holy Spirit does!!! - Catechism 101! He’s not being limpy loopy, he’s being humble and correctly sees his powerlessness before Jesus’ Church as He knows it.
