What a Looser! Francis-Archbishop Insists: No Conversion!

In Algeria (population: 45 million) there are not even 6000 Catholics but 45’000 Protestants.
For Vesco, Francis is “revolutionary” because “he affirms that baptism is not the condition of salvation” and “has dared to take the risk of affirming a human brotherhood, beyond religious affiliations.” However, there is no risk in claiming this because that’s what the oligarchs want to hear.
Vesco is confronted with the fact that the Protestants are expanding in Algeria, one of the Arab countries with the highest number of conversions, obviously not to the Francis Church.
“They are good,” Vesco replies, but “more in line with a pattern of thought found in the Muslim religion.”
This is the difference between the Vesco religion and Protestantism, “Where we affirm the existence of a universal brotherhood, the evangelical churches emphasise entry into a community through baptism.”
Then, Vesco has a moment of lucidity, “The Protestant churches are not our competitors; they also have their share of truth that perhaps escapes us.” None of Vesco’s priests devote all their time to the Church.
The Moslems are also more serious than Vesco, “We meet Moslems every day who tell us they know our religion and why it is not a true path to God” – which in the case of the Vesco religion is perfectly true.
This is for Vesco no reason to look at Islam “in a negative way.” On the contrary, “We have to get rid of the idea that we have to evangelise, that we have to bring others into contact with our truth, and at the same time accept that there may also be a part of the truth in Islam that escapes us.”
In other words: Vesco is wasting his time as a bishop. He should return being a business lawyer hoping he was more competent in that field.
