Pope: Stop “Bombarding People With Religious Messages’

Pope Francis says Catholics should have discussions about faith, but not “bombard” people about it.

“Effective Christian witness is not about bombarding people with religious messages,” he said in a statement.

He said that members of the Catholic Church should be open to hearing others’ points of view and accepting that their beliefs are not the only “valid” ones.

“To (have a) dialogue means to believe that the ‘other’ has something worthwhile to say, and to entertain his or her point of view and perspective,” Francis said in a statement. “Engaging in dialogue does not mean renouncing our own ideas and traditions, but the pretense that they alone are valid and absolute.”
