What I described is indeed proselytizing, as I deliberately used the word exclusively. This is also the word that Edgar used. I think at this point we’re all saying the same thing. Evangelization is an act of charity - proselytizing is not and the cardinal seems to be opposed to the latter. He supports forming loving relationships with people and is opposed to the objectification of individuals which comes from viewing them exclusively as potential converts.

I reject your definition of proselytizing. Moreover, how am I objectifying someone if I view them, first and foremost, as someone in need of conversion? Weird take.
