Pope endorses essay trashing U.S. conservative Christians
'These religious groups are composed mainly of whites from the deep American South'
(Breitbart) Pope Francis has publicly endorsed an essay that appeared in 2017 criticizing relations between Evangelicals and Catholics in the United States as an “ecumenism of hate.”
On Thursday, La Civiltà Cattolica journal released the transcript of a meeting between Pope Francis and a group of 24 Jesuits on September 5, 2019, during his recent trip to Mozambique in which the pope suggested that certain Evangelical Protestants in the United States
“cannot really be defined as Christian.”
“Two important articles in Civiltà Cattolica have been published in this regard.
I recommend them to you.
They were written by Father Spadaro and the Argentinean Presbyterian pastor, Marcelo Figueroa.
The first article spoke of the ‘ecumenism of hatred.’
The second was on the ‘theology of prosperity,’” the pontiff said.
