For those who did not scrutinize his actual statement, it caused\u00a0confusion because, bringing souls to Jesus Christ\u2014that is, into\u00a0Christianity\u2014is precisely why the Church exists. So either Pope Francis was abandoning the Church&#8217;s Great Commission, or perhaps he meant something else.<!--more--><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><strong>Proselytism is solemn nonsense, it makes no sense. We need to get to know each other, listen to each other and improve our knowledge of the world around us.<\/strong>\u2014POPE FRANCIS, interview, Oct. 1st, 2013; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.repubblica.it\/cultura\/2013\/10\/01\/news\/pope_s_conversation_with_scalfari_english-67643118\/\">repubblica.it<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In this context, it seems that what the Pope is rejecting is not evangelization, but a <em>method<\/em> of evangelization that does not steam-roll over the other&#8217;s dignity. In that regard, Pope Benedict said the very same thing:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><strong>The Church does not engage in proselytism. Instead, she grows <i>by \u201cattraction\u201d<\/i>: just as Christ \u201cdraws all to himself\u201d by the power of his love, culminating in the sacrifice of the Cross, so the Church fulfils her mission to the extent that, in union with Christ, she accomplishes every one of her works in spiritual and practical imitation of the love of her Lord.<\/strong> \u2014BENEDICT XVI, Homily for the Opening of the Fifth General Conference of the Latin American and Caribbean Bishops, May 13th, 2007; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vatican.va\/holy_father\/benedict_xvi\/homilies\/2007\/documents\/hf_ben-xvi_hom_20070513_conference-brazil_en.html\">vatican.va<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">We see this kind of true evangelization\u2014the imitation of Christ\u2014in today&#8217;s first Mass reading where Paul engages the pagan Greeks. He does not enter their temples and trounce their dignity; he doesn&#8217;t insult their mythical beliefs and ritual expressions, but uses them as a basis for dialogue.\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace;\">I see that in every respect\u00a0you are very religious.\u00a0For as I walked around looking carefully at your shrines,\u00a0I even discovered an altar inscribed, &#8216;To an Unknown God.&#8217;\u00a0What therefore you unknowingly worship, I proclaim to you. (First reading)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Much more than post-modern man (who is increasingly atheistic and shallow), Paul was quite aware that the most brilliant minds of his day\u2014doctors, philosophers and magistrates\u2014were religious. They had the innate sense and awareness that God exists, though they could not grasp in what form, since it had not yet been revealed to them.\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace; font-size: 10pt;\">He made from one the whole human race\u00a0to dwell on the entire surface of the earth,\u00a0and he fixed the ordered seasons and the boundaries of their regions,\u00a0so that people might seek God,\u00a0even perhaps grope for him and find him,\u00a0though indeed he is not far from any one of us. (First reading)<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace;\">His majesty is above earth and heaven. (Today&#8217;s Psalm)<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><span class=\"text\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva, sans-serif; color: #040669;\">Thus, in different ways, man can come to know that there exists a reality which is the first cause and final end of all things, a reality \u201cthat everyone calls God\u201d\u2026 all religions bear witness to man\u2019s essential search for God.<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span> \u2014<em>Catechism of the Catholic Church, <\/em>n. 34, 2566<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">But with the advent of Jesus Christ, the search for God finds its locus. Still, Paul waits; he continues to speak their language, even quoting their poets:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace;\">For &#8216;In him we live and move and have our being,&#8217;\u00a0as even some of your poets have said,\u00a0&#8216;For we too are his offspring.&#8217;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In this way, Paul finds common ground. He doesn&#8217;t insult the Greek gods or belittle the peoples&#8217; authentic desires. And so, they begin to\u00a0feel, in Paul, that they have someone who understands their inner longing\u2014not someone who, because of his knowledge, is superior to them, where&#8230;\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><strong>A supposed soundness of doctrine or discipline leads instead to a narcissistic and authoritarian elitism, whereby instead of evangelizing, one analyzes and classifies others, and instead of opening the door to grace, one exhausts his or her energies in inspecting and verifying. In neither case is one really concerned about Jesus Christ or others. <\/strong>\u2014POPE FRANCIS, <em>Evangelii Gaudium<\/em>, n. 94\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">This\u00a0relational aspect is what Pope Francis has been stressing from day one of his pontificate. But for the Christian, evangelization can never end with merely reaching an abstract agreement or mutual goals for the common good\u2014as worthy as these are. Rather&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><strong>There is no true evangelization if the name, the teaching, the life, the promises, the kingdom and the mystery of Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of God, are not proclaimed.<\/strong> \u2014POPE PAUL VI,\u00a0<em>Evangelii Nuntiandi<\/em>, n. 22;\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/w2.vatican.va\/content\/paul-vi\/en\/apost_exhortations\/documents\/hf_p-vi_exh_19751208_evangelii-nuntiandi.html\">vatican.va<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">And so, having found common ground, Paul takes the next step\u2014that step that puts the relationship, the\u00a0peace, his comfort, safety, and even very life, at risk. He begins to\u00a0allow Jesus Christ to emerge:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace;\">Since therefore we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the divinity is like an image fashioned from gold, silver, or stone by human art and imagination. God has overlooked the times of ignorance, but now he demands that all people everywhere repent because he has established a day on which he will &#8216;judge the world with justice&#8217; through a man he has appointed, and he has provided confirmation for all by raising him from the dead.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Here, Paul does not coddle their egos, but speaks to a place in their heart that they are already instinctively aware of: that place where they know they\u00a0are sinners, seeking a Saviour. And with that, some believe, and others simply scoff and walk away.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Paul has not proselytized, nor compromised. He has evangelized.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">RELATED READING<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left; padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.markmallett.com\/blog\/2014\/02\/07\/evangelize-not-proselytize\/\"><em>Evangelize, not Proselytize<\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left; padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.markmallett.com\/blog\/2017\/02\/06\/a-catholic-answer-to-the-refugee-crisis\/\">A Catholic Answer to the Refugee Crisis<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left; padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.markmallett.com\/blog\/2014\/02\/10\/god-in-me\/\">God in Me<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left; padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.markmallett.com\/blog\/2010\/04\/27\/the-painful-irony\/\">A Painful Irony<\/a><\/em>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"LEFT\">\u00a0\u00a0<strong><br \/>\n Bless you and thank you.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/store.markmallett.com\/donate\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.markmallett.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Donateovalbtnonbeige.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"112\" height=\"48\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">To journey with Mark in\u00a0the\u00a0<strong><em>The <\/em><\/strong><em><strong>Now Word<\/strong><\/em>,<em><br \/>\n <\/em>click on the banner below to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.markmallett.com\/blog\/subscribe\/\">subscribe<\/a>. <br \/>\n Your email will not be shared with anyone.<br \/>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.markmallett.com\/blog\/subscribe\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-25916\" src=\"https:\/\/www.markmallett.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/now-word-banner.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"469\" height=\"153\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.markmallett.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/now-word-banner.jpeg 850w, https:\/\/www.markmallett.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/now-word-banner-300x98.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.markmallett.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/now-word-banner-768x250.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 469px) 100vw, 469px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE NOW WORD ON MASS READINGS for May 24th, 2017 Wednesday\u00a0of the Sixth\u00a0Week of Easter Liturgical texts here \u00a0 THERE\u00a0has been much hullabaloo since\u00a0Pope Francis&#8217; comments a few years back denouncing proselytism\u2014the attempt to convert someone to one&#8217;s own religious faith.
