It is not Christian” to convert others.<br /><br />2: Stop trying to be authentically Christian. “I am allergic to those words, ‘small but authentic’”.<br /><br />3: Don’t be a noun Christian “I am of Christ”. Be rather an adjective Christian who does things.<br /><br />There you have it. His speech. What an inspiration it is.Aquahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06691722006352014613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22704303.post-4259615174638104642019-09-28T05:03:47.539-07:002019-09-28T05:03:47.539-07:00Why not stick to the point?

"Francis" did say it, as a stepping-stone towards his ultimate goal of defining as non-Christian anyone who holds beliefs that would have been categorized as Christian, from the days Our Lord walked the earth in the flesh up until the Protestant Deformation. While I agree with you about the advisability of avoiding all reference to coverage by CNN of anything, I don't mind it in this post.
