Pope francis urges catholics to promote faith in buddhist thailand

I think there may be some misinformation here.

Pope Francis has not urged Catholics to promote faith in Buddhist Thailand. In fact, the Catholic Church has a long history of respecting and coexisting with Buddhism in Thailand, and Pope Francis has not made any public statements encouraging Catholics to proselytize or promote their faith in Buddhist Thailand.

Thailand is a predominantly Buddhist country, and the Catholic Church has a small but significant presence there. The Church has a long history of dialogue and cooperation with Buddhist leaders and organizations in Thailand, and Pope Francis has continued this tradition.

In 2019, Pope Francis visited Thailand and Myanmar (Burma), where he met with Buddhist leaders and emphasized the importance of interfaith dialogue and cooperation. During his visit, he also celebrated Mass with thousands of Catholics in Bangkok and met with Thai Buddhist leaders, including the Supreme Patriarch of the Thai Buddhist Sangha.

In his homilies and speeches during the visit, Pope Francis emphasized the importance of respecting and learning from other religions, and he encouraged Catholics to engage in dialogue and cooperation with people of other faiths. However, he did not urge Catholics to promote their faith in Buddhist Thailand or to proselytize to Buddhists.

It's important to note that the Catholic Church teaches that all people are called to worship and serve God, and that this call is not limited to any one religion or denomination. The Church also teaches that people of other faiths can be saved through their own good works and the light of reason, even if they do not know Jesus Christ or the Catholic Church.

In summary, Pope Francis has not urged Catholics to promote their faith in Buddhist Thailand, and the Catholic Church has a long history of respecting and coexisting with Buddhism in Thailand.
