Most distressing, especially from the Chief Shepherd of the Church, is this statement: "I’m not interested in converting Evangelicals to Catholicism.

What he is referring to is the heavy-handed proselytism that happens when non-Catholics try to persuade a Catholic.

Catholics will always invite (plant a seed) and let God do the rest.

He isn’t saying for us to “bug out” on evangelization. He’s saying “dig in” by contacting and inviting and letting God do the rest.

I'm not so sure they need to.
