Is it not in the nature and mission of the Church to \"conquer\" proselytes? In reality, Benedict's words taken up by his successor Francis speak to us of a method, which is the method that God always had: not that of coercing freedom. Not that of great historical events, not that of extraordinary interventions, but that of communication in the whisper of the breeze, in the brilliance of beauty, in the attractiveness of a life that bears witness to itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We can discover this conviction in the history of the Church and in how the Christian faith was communicated. In the perspective of Francis, it is convenient to understand some consequences, and above all this: the believer knows that he has to be a missionary, but that his main mission is not to bring something to someone, but to be a protagonist and to be able to give something to others who need it. For example, speaking on the subject of the geographical and existential peripheries, the mission is not primarily to bring to the poor or the desperate our proclamation, as if it were something that we ourselves possess, and that because we are Christians we give so that those who receive it can become evangelization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The perspective is different and asks us for a continuous conversion. It is that of the missionary who goes to the peripheries to look for something he needs. He goes to look for the face of God in the poor and needy, to be evangelized by touching in them the flesh of God's love. <a href=\"https:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cristo\">Jesus Christ<\/a>. The Pope explained it very well on January 6. Christians are not those who talk a lot, lament, study marketing strategies to win people for their ecclesial \"enterprise\". They are like beggars who seek every day to meet God in the encounter with the needy. And as Cardinal Parolin recently said, speaking of the Christian roots of Europe: <em>\"Christians are not expected to say what to do, but to show by their lives the way to go.\"<\/em>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 el Papa Francisco ha repetido ya varias veces aquellas palabras de su predecesor Benedicto sobre la evangelizaci\u00f3n, cuando explic\u00f3 que la Iglesia crece por atracci\u00f3n y no por proselitismo? \u00bfNo est\u00e1 en la naturaleza y misi\u00f3n de la Iglesia el \u201cconquistar\u201d pros\u00e9litos?
