If Pope Francis ‘ re-action to that lady is correct, then
every man, woman, and child who was “proselytized”
by Belgian Missionary Fr.Pierre DeSmet, SJ, “disrespected
these people” because hie didn’t “accompany” them.
Now, St.Thomas Acquinas, in his Summa Theologia,
teaches that, with a person who desires to become Catholic,
one has “to take him/her by the hand and walk with them
into the fulness of the Faith”. [ words to that effect].
Sounds like Pope Francis is onto something ??
But “proselytize” in 19th Century Catholic parlance did
not mean what it has been “spun” into currently. Pope
Francis’ very plausible “spin” on missionary/ evangelical
activity totally detaches it from the Church STILL living
historical context . . which only Marxism cancels and
changes beyond recognition. Sorry, but Church History
can’t just be obliterated. Francis assumes that the
larger [mis-led] body of Catholics assumed the same
historical “blank” as he has assumed.
By contrast let’s listen to a speech, given in 1842, by a
Chief of the Coeur d’Alènes nation, welcoming Fr.DeSmet
[ near today’s Stephensville, Montana ]:
“Blackrobe, welcome to our country. Long have we
desired to see you and be enlightened by your words.
Our Fathers worshipped the earth and the sun. I
remember distinctly the day we first heard of the one
and only true God. Since then it is to Him we have
addressed our prayers and supplications, and yet
we are much to be pitied. We do not know the teachings
of the Great Spirit, and WE SIT IN DARKNESS. But
now I hope you have come to bring us light . . Speak,
Blackrobe! Every ear is open and eager to hear your
words.”
Solid, objective, INSTRUCTION [ from the Church’s
Sacred Deposit of Faith ] was key to “proselytizing” then,
but also, NEVER WITHOUT an introduction to Mary,
MOTHER of God . . to whom Fr. DeSMet maintained
an abiding devotion . . as he demonstrated by
teaching her Rosary and by religious processions.
By contrast, Francis’ so-called “accompanying” is
purely SUBJECTIVE, with nothing to back it up
except one’s . . er, uh, personal “say-so”.
It seems Francis’ hates the Church’s Deposit of Faith
as “rigid”; he seems to like “winging it” with daily
personal encounters, and does not dare hint at
MORAL conversion of those [higher-ups, atheists
. . makes no difference ] living in and promoting
serious immoral behaviour . . UNLESS the media
have been telling lies, and Francis is really a good
Pope.
Still, what Faithful Catholic, Gospel Christian, or
person of Good Will is going to trade the Church’s
millennial Wisdom of the Ages, the Decalogue
[ guarded and preserved through Catechisms and
Councils] for this Pope’s very problematic
agendas ??
