Since there no longer is a hell (Amoris Laetitia 297), there is no reason to proselytize (aka, evangelize), and even lesser reason to explain Christ to anyone who asks a reason for our faith. I quote from Amoris Laetitia 297: "No one can be condemned for ever, because that is not the logic of the Gospel! Here I am not speaking only of the divorced and remarried, but of everyone, in whatever situation they find themselves." I suppose they will blame this strange saying of Francis on Vatican II.

Using his own logic maybe he should resign from his position since he thinks it’s not important to profess the Catholic faith.
