Bishop Barron Hits Cardinal: “Church Exists to Convert”

Bishop Barron rebukes Cardinal Vesco.
In an October 28 post on X.com, 💪 Bishop Robert Barron of Winona-Rochester, Minnesota, attacked the Archbishop Jean-Paul Vesco of Algiers. He had claimed that “the Church is not there to convert” and that Christians should approach other religions “through fraternity rather than seeking conversions.”
“Excuse me, but…what?” Barron responded.
Citing Christ’s command to “make disciples of all nations,” the American bishop added: “Sure sounds like conversion to me.”
Bishop Barron then invoked St. Paul, who preached in Corinth, Athens and Thessalonica. His purpose, Barron argued, “was not to listen or to form a discussion group but rather to declare an unnerving message”: that Jesus Christ is risen from the dead.
He also criticized what he sees as a wider problem within the Church hierarchy, opening his post with the remark: “Well, another Cardinal has come out with a, shall we say, puzzling take on evangelization.”

Vesco: “In monotheistic religions, proselytism is poison, because it implies considering the other person’s religion false”

Cardinal Vesco: Leo XIV is continuing Francis direction - "Church not there to convert".
🌈 Cardinal Jean-Paul Vesco, Archbishop of Algiers, believes that Leo XIV is continuing Francis’s direction. He told CathoBel on October 23 that the cardinals at the conclave “wanted the Church to continue in the direction opened by Francis, but with different governance. And that is exactly what is happening.”
And, “There are doors that Francis opened which Leo would not have been able to open, but Leo’s character will allow us all to move further forward together.”
On the Church’s mission, Cardinal Vesco said: “We are the Church of this people. Not a proselytizing Church, not a Church that is there to convert, but a Church that aspires to be one of the components of this people.”
He added, “In the monotheistic religions, proselytism is a poison, because it implies considering the other person’s religion false.”

The Holy Ghost has made the situation quite clear. Those holding the Faith (traditionalists) are on one side and the so called Novus Ordo on the other. The Faithful opposing the modernists . To echo a great saint of the past...they have the buildings but we have the Faith .St Marcel pray for us.

Leo XIV’s doctors have given the Pope the all clear, and confirmed that he will not require any more treatment for his lung cancer: “The final histopathology and molecular testing reports on the tissue removed during the Holy Father's surgery were issued today. The results confirmed that the tumor was a lung adenocarcinoma and that the disease was localized. A subsequent oncological assessment has confirmed that no further treatment is necessary.”

🔴 LEONE XIV, AGGIORNAMENTO MEDICO: IL TUMORE ERA LOCALIZZATO. NON SERVONO ULTERIORI TERAPIE
🏥 Arrivano notizie rassicuranti sulle condizioni di salute di Papa Leone XIV, operato il 13 ottobre al Policlinico Gemelli di Roma.
Il dott. Luigi Carbone e il prof. Stefano Margaritora hanno comunicato i risultati definitivi degli esami istologici e delle indagini di biologia molecolare effettuati sul tessuto asportato durante l’intervento chirurgico.
🔬 Gli esami hanno confermato che si trattava di un adenocarcinoma polmonare e che la malattia era localizzata.
Una successiva valutazione oncologica ha stabilito che non è necessaria alcuna ulteriore terapia.
Si tratta di un aggiornamento importante sul decorso postoperatorio del Pontefice, che nei giorni scorsi ha ripreso progressivamente le proprie attività.

anecdote from the surgeon that operated on Pope Leo XIV: "On the second day after the operation, we turned around and found him arranging the chairs in the chapel himself. We said, “Holy Father, we can do that.” And he replied, “It doesn’t matter. I can do it, so I will.” What can I say? He really was an absolutely ideal patient."
