CWN Editor's Note: “I think it is important that we say that Pope Francis made a distinction,” said Cardinal-designate Stephen Chow, SJ, of Hong Kong. “Evangelization is really to help people to understand the love of God — and the love of God without the agenda of turning them into Catholics — because that shouldn’t be the focus, as that focus would be very restrictive.”

    Then maybe the Pope and Cardinal should resign from their Catholic positions and look for a more secular job somewhere. They can't have it both ways - either boldly proclaim the truth of Catholicism or leave and find a home elsewhere.
