Papal Notes - Moroccan Trip

"During his March 30-31, 2019 visit to Morocco, Pope Francis delivered the message that the church shouldn’t try to “convertMuslims but instead it should “live in brotherhood” with them.
Francis has used his two-day trip to stress inter-faith
dialogue. He has also backed Moroccan King Mohammed VI’s efforts to spread a form of Islam that promotes inter-religious dialogue and rejects violence in God’s name.”
Pope Francis on one hand condemns proselytism (preaching the gospel to nonbelievers) but on the other hand he praises interfaith dialog. These are one in the same as far as Rome is concerned. It is through ecumenism that Rome will bring Protestants and Muslims under her influence and control.
The Pope is trying to bring “peace and unity” to the whole world through ecumenism. This is a subtle, charming proposal meant to seduce everyone by enticing them into her arms. It may sound
positive and logical, but the ecumenical forum is an attempt to downplay doctrine, truth and history. Interfaith participants ignore facts and reality and embrace fiction.
They misrepresent Christ and portray Him as a non-doctrinal, non-judgmental, non-threatening spiritual guru who leaves everyone in error. When in reality, the preaching of truth is more important than peace and dialog.
Woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel.” 1 Corinthians 9:16."
