Evangelisation and proselytism are not the same. The Church does not engage in proselytism. Instead, she grows by ‘attraction.’ We do not have to be already perfect to live in a way that gives witness to Christ and attracts others to Him, said Pope Francis.
Speaking in the Vatican’s Paul VI Hall, Pope Francis emphasised that evangelisation and proselytism are not the same. “Do not forget this,” Pope Francis added, calling Christians who proselytise “pagans dressed as Christians.” “When Christian life loses sight of the horizon of proclamation, it grows sick,” he continued, “it closes in on itself, becomes self-referential, it becomes atrophied. Without apostolic zeal, faith withers. Mission, on the other hand, is the oxygen of Christian life: it invigorates and purifies it.”
