So the Church was wrong all those years?

When the dialogue says nothing of the need to convert it makes a mockery of the Catholic Faith.

Didn't you know?  The Church was started in 1958 with the election of Roncalli.

From the deaths of the Apostles until Roncalli, the Catholic Church was mired in cultural deficiencies and a pre-occupation with doctrine.

In a message marking the 50th anniversary of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue, Pope Francis said that evangelization and dialogue are distinct but compatible activities.

The pontifical council was called Secretariat for Non-Christians from 1964 until 1988.

“Such a dialogue does not imply relativizing the Christian faith, or setting aside the yearning, which dwells in the heart of every disciple, to announce to all the joy of the encounter with Christ,” the Pope said.

Pope Francis compared the Church’s willingness to engage in interreligious dialogue to Christ’s journey on the road to Emmaus. “Such a willingness to walk together is all the more necessary in our time.”

When the dialogue says nothing of the need to convert it makes a mockery of the Catholic Faith.

The idea is to create an ambiance that is conducive to conversion.

Oh yes, I forgot:  "Proselytism is solemn nonsense".
