‘Numbers give no indication of how fruitful a [Catholic] presence is,’ said the newly appointed archbishop.
ALGIERS, Algeria (LifeSiteNews) — The new archbishop of Algiers has said Catholics must “abandon the idea that we have to evangelize and bring people to our truth.”
“At the same time, we have to accept that there might be in Islam some truth that escapes us,” Jean-Paul Vesco said during an interview with Swiss Catholic news website cath.ch on Sunday.
The North African country is 98.2 percent Muslim.
When asked about the relationship between Catholics and Muslims in Algeria, the archbishop quoted pope Francis who following his visit to Iraq last year said that Catholics “often must take risks to promote harmony.”
“There are some criticisms: ‘The pope isn’t courageous, he’s reckless. He’s doing things against Catholic doctrine,’” Francis told reporters as he flew back to Rome from Baghdad on March 8, 2021.
“This is important, human fraternity, that as men we are all brothers, and we must move forward with other religions,” said Francis on the same occasion.
The new archbishop explained that these words of Pope Francis “express exactly what I live and what I feel.”
“We are human brothers first and foremost,” said Vesco.
The new archbishop praised the Pope for “daring to take the risk of professing a human fraternity beyond religious affiliations.”

Doesn’t Christ command us to go into the world and preach the Gospel? Is that not The Great Commission?”
Catholic leadership is leading Catholics away from Christianity.
Who’s we?
Archbishop of what? He sure isn’t following Christ.
“Doesn’t Christ command us to go into the world and preach the Gospel? Is that not The Great Commission?””
So when do you book your flight to proselytize in Algeria?
The good news is you don’t need to worry about paying for a return ticket.
American Catholics are going to be key in this fight, or so one would think. Where else in the world is there a critical mass of, so to speak, “woke” lay Catholics unwilling to take “no” for an answer when the time finally comes to dig their heels in and demand the return of their Church?
Doesn’t Christ command us to go into the world and preach the Gospel? Is that not The Great Commission?”
Luk 24:47 It was also written that this message would be proclaimed in the authority of His name to all the nations, beginning in Jerusalem: ‘There is forgiveness of sins for all who repent.’
But what is the message that is to be proclaimed? Don’t hear the word repent very often..................
because nobody will like you including the muslims.
This man, and probably the commie pope, don’t actually have faith in God and his son Jesus Christ. I am convinced of that.
I guess he never read the Bible.
He’s advocating direct disobedience to Jesus.
He’s not Christian anymore. I’m so sorry for his soul, the Church, and the people of Algeria.
Pure heresy!!!
It defies the command of Christ Himself!!!
I pray for the day when we again have truly Catholic bishops again & an actual Catholic in the chair of St Peter.
