Upside-Down World: Kanye West Preaches The Gospel As Pope Francis Tells..

• https://www.zerohedge.com, by Michael Snyder

I know that may be hard to believe, because some of the statements that Pope Francis has made in recent years have definitely been extremely bizarre.  For example, he has said that "Muslim terrorism does not exist", he told a gay man that "God made you that way", and he has referred to Christian fundamentalists as "a scourge".  But what he has just said tops all of those previous statements. 

According to Breitbart, Pope Francis told a group of high school students that he was visiting with that they should never try to convert others to Christianity…

Pope Francis told Christian high school students this weekend they should respect people of other faiths and not attempt to convert them to Christianity, insisting "we are not living in the times of the crusades."

Asked by one of the students Friday how a Christian should treat people of other faiths or no faith, the pope said that "we are all the same, all children of God" and that true disciples of Jesus do not proselytize.

In fact, the Pope went on to say that if someone comes to you and is trying to share the gospel, that individual "is not a disciple of Jesus"

"But listen, the gospel is never, ever advanced through proselytism," he continued. "If someone says he is a disciple of Jesus and comes to you with proselytism, he is not a disciple of Jesus. Proselytism is not the way; the Church does not grow by proselytism."
