Because it's a form of coercion. And historically Catholics have been very abusive in that regard.
So no joy if there is conversion? There is no conversion?
Ah, I get it, there’s no more catholicism.
Swamp Pope
What?
So Christ died for...nothing?
Not quite, there’s still the bingo.
We need a few new protected classes to help diversity: trads, proselytizers and rosary-sayers have rights too.
Jesus HAS to be obeyed as per Mathew 16:16-20,
John 14:1-6.
Please see post 28. Thank-you!
The great St. John Paul 2 must be face palming in his grave.
He’s desperate to rid himself of us, making such a scene, “bitterly” judging against a woman whom he so wickedly characterizes as a “proselytizer” to defame her and anyone else who speaks of the Traditional Church”
Thank you for putting into words, what I was feeling.
A socialist pretending to be a Pope. “Vicar of Christ” indeed! “Papal infallibility” ? Hahahahaha ... more like papal bullshittery. This from a former Catholic turned evangelical Christian.
How dare he presume her excitement for a bad motive. He reads minds now?
He’s the one who needs to be impeached.
It’s droll that you and Pope Francis are both so anti-Catholic.

O.K. that made me LOL
Well you didn’t think this through or read carefully. My comment were about Francis, not all Catholics.
I’m not anti Catholic, but since reading the Bible on my own 30 years ago, I view the Pope as nothing more than another church leader like Billy Graham or Joel Osteen or Jim Dobson, neither better nor holier than anyone else. Pretending that he is Christ’s representative on earth, or infallible is any sense, is a hoot.
And this Pope in particular is a bloody laughingstock. He’s already done enough damage to the church and the faithful. I wouldn’t be any more outraged if he knocked up a few nuns or was caught in bed with a couple altar boys. Meaning, he has already proven himself to be a horribly flawed man with obvious unChristian beliefs and instincts, so nothing else would surprise me.
Pope Francis is appointing apostates, perverts and criminals to top positions throughout the Catholic Church, and, even more horribly, they are spawning: raising up new cadres even worse than themselves.
But if you really understood what the Church really is, you would never have abandoned the Catholic Church in her hour of need. People who leave under these circumstances are like soldiers who go AWOL just as the battle gets hot, or warriors who leave their posts as soon as the enemy is within the gates.
Lay claim to the graces of your Confirmation. We're not to fall back at first blood. We're to stand and fight.
Francis sees all religions as equal, with no need for Christ as savior.
