St. Rose of Lima, Claudio Coello (ARSH 1642-1693)
We read that her confessor offered himself to go to the missions, but he feared because of the dangers it would entail. After consulting the saint [Rose] he heard these words: “Go Father, and do not fear. Leave all to labor for the conversion of the infidel, and know that the greatest service that man can offer to God is to convert souls, for this is a work proper of the Apostolate. What greater happiness could there be than to baptize, be it only a little Indian child who would enter Heaven through the gates of Baptism?”
proselytize
Proselytize comes from the noun proselyte, meaning “a new convert,” which in turn ultimately comes from the Greek prosēlytos, meaning “stranger” or “newcomer.” When proselytize entered English in the 17th century, it had a distinctly religious connotation and meant simply “to recruit religious converts.”
The fact that the apostate wretch Antipope Bergoglio frequently declares proselytizing to be a sin, once even declaring it mortal sin, is just one more glaring beat-you-over-the-head Uber-visible proof that the man isn’t Catholic and CERTAINLY isn’t nor ever has been the Pope. Because Pope Benedict XVI clearly, obviously never validly resigned the Papacy. Therefore there was no conclave in ARSH 2013. Pope Benedict remained the one and only living Pope until his death on 31 December, ARSH 2022, whether he liked it or not.
Saint Rose of Lima, pray for us, for Holy Mother Church, and for the Petrine See, vacant these 242 days.
Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on us.
