Tradcast Express it's Tuesday April 2nd 2019 so I've been trying to finally crank out a full-length
Tradcast here number 24 but of course Pope Francis keeps interrupting for example this past weekend
he blew untold tons of carbon into the air by traveling by chartered plane to Rabat Morocco
and back as you probably already guessed the carbon was the least problematic of the emissions
released those days what was much worse is what the pretend pontifex told an audience of Novos
Ordo priests religious and consecrated persons together with members of the so-called ecumenical
council of churches on March 31st it was really a one-two punch
first he made utterly clear to them that they were not to proselytize Muslims quote the paths
of mission are not those of proselytism please these paths are not those of proselytism let us
recall Benedict the 16th the church grows not through proselytism but through attraction
through witness the paths of mission are not those of proselytism which leads
always to a cul-de-sac but of our way of being with Jesus and with others unquote
of course it didn't take long for Novos Ordo apologists to try to spin this into a somewhat
acceptable idea and the usual defense is that Novos Ordo popes don't understand proselytism
as the making of converts by convincing them with argumentation but a kind of tricking people into
becoming converts or pressuring them or
enticing them using illicit means now no doubt there were hordes of people in France's audience
who had made a habit of forcing or deceiving Muslims to abandon Islam and embrace Christ
so it's a good thing he finally set them straight but seriously it's always the same excuse yes
there is some definition of proselytism buried in a footnote in some obscure Vatican document
that technically gets the false popes off the hook on that point
but this is simply the orthodox fig leaf that Novos Ordo apologists point to in order to
exonerate their man from the clear denial of Christ's great commission everyone understands
proselytism to mean making converts and that is exactly what Francis intends when he keeps
denouncing proselytism we know that for one thing because his insistence that there be no proselytism
is frequent and it's ridiculous to think that there's some
widespread epidemic of Novos Ordos using immoral and deceptive tactics in their making of converts
the truth is most Novos Ordos don't care and think you're good in any religion as long as you believe
in something you know secondly because Francis has said on several separate occasions that we
are not to convert others and that he himself does not seek anyone's conversion for example
on August 7th
2013 an Argentinian TV station published a recorded video message from Francis
in which he talked about helping the needy at one point he said quote do you need to convince the
other to become Catholic no no no go out and meet him he is your brother this is enough go out and
help him and Jesus will do the rest unquote baloney here's another example on October 13th
2016
Francis held an audience in the Vatican with Novos Ordos and Lutherans from Germany
at one point he said quote I really like the good Lutherans the Lutherans who follow the true faith
of Jesus Christ unquote you can't make this stuff up yes the man believes that Lutherans follow the
true faith of Jesus Christ in any case at one point a girl named Henrietta asked him quote
most of my friends do not go to church and do not believe in God they are happy helpful and truly
good friends do I have to convince others of my faith or is it enough that they are good friends
to me unquote well can you guess what Francis said he said quote listen the last thing you must do is
to speak you have to live as a Christian like a Christian convinced forgiven and on a path
it is not licit to convince them of your faith proselytism is the strongest poison against the
ecumenical path unquote there you go for Francis proselytism is convincing unbelievers of your
religion after all that is proselytism for him and it is indeed the correct definition the one
found in any dictionary that is what Francis rejects not some sort of pressure to convince
people into becoming converts or convincing them with deceptive arguments for Francis being a
Catholic is all about soup kitchens helping the elderly and welcoming migrants now those things
are not necessarily wrong but what is wrong is to reduce all evangelization to corporal works of
mercy and that's easy to see that Christ and the apostles simply go around handing out food and
blankets and visiting the sick by no means
they did that but they also and most of all taught they preached they argued read the acts of the
apostles especially chapter 2 that's proselytism and if I'm not mistaken Saint Francis de Sales
converted as many as 70,000 Protestants back to the Catholic faith with a single sermon that is
what Francis rejects and detests because his desire is to eliminate the Catholic faith and
to eliminate Catholicism from the face of the earth now he'll never succeed but he will continue
to do untold damage to souls we'll get back to this in a minute but let me interrupt here for a second

Frankster if you thought the proselytism thing was bad well you ain't seen nothing yet in the
same address on March 30th and the same address on March 30th and the same address on March 30th
31st Francis said quote being a Christian is not about adhering to a doctrine or a temple or an
ethnic group being Christian is about an encounter an encounter with Jesus Christ we are Christians
because we have been loved and encountered and not as the result of proselytism unquote
typical modernist garbage theology being a Christian a Catholic is about
adhering to a doctrine namely the doctrine of Jesus Christ remember John 7 16 Jesus answered
them and said my doctrine is not mine but his that sent me in Acts 2 42 we read and they were
persevering in the doctrine of the apostles and in the communication of the breaking of bread and
in prayers now I could go on and on with Bible verses but I'll give you only one more whosoever
revolteth and continueth not in the doctrine of the apostles and in the communication of the
in the doctrine of Christ hath not God he that continueth in the doctrine the same hath both the
father and the son if any man come to you and bring not this doctrine receive him not into the house
nor say to him God speed you and that's the second epistle of Saint John verses 9 and 10 by saying
that being a Christian isn't about adhering to doctrine Francis has committed yet another act of
apostasy if you take the doctrine of Christ and bring it not into the house nor say to him God speed you
away doctrine there is nothing left then it's all just once again soup kitchens and hospitals and
schools well no one needs a religion for that for an in-depth analysis of what Francis said in
Morocco and how it's wrong have a look at our blog post dated April 1st entitled Francis in
Morocco being a Christian is not about adhering to a doctrine at Novus Ordo
and one last thing before we go today the Vatican's text factory released yet another
endless document the new post-synodal exhortation by Francis for young people if you remember they
had a long synod last October that's where Francis showed up with a sorcerer's staff instead of a
pastoral staff and this is now the follow-up document just like Amoris Laetitia was to the
synods on the family
the document is called Christus vivit Christ is alive in English it has over 32,000 words
it consists of nine chapters that include a total of 299 numbered paragraphs and it's got 164 footnotes
and of course not a single one of those footnotes references a magisterial document from before
1958 just put on your surprise face you know so good thing no one knows about it
no one's actually going to read it oh yeah and don't worry that Tradcast 24 is coming out in
