What does it Mean that Francis is only a Noun "Christian"?

Francis according to a CNN article thinks the meaning of the word "Christian" is only a noun. Moreover, the article says he "is 'allergic' to adjectives."

According to the first definition of the Oxford Dictionary of "Christian" as a noun, it means "a person who has received Christian baptism."

While the the dictionary says "Christian" as a adjective means "professing Christianity or its teachings."

It is understandable why Francis who teaches Communion for adulterers sees himself as a "Christian" noun that is having "received Christian baptism" while having problems with seeing himself as a "Christian" adjective that is "professing Christianity or is teachings."

Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Church.

Francis said it. Why not comment on the original text rather than CNN's reference?

Why not stick to the point? "Francis" did say it, as a stepping-stone towards his ultimate goal of defining as non-Christian anyone who holds beliefs that would have been categorized as Christian, from the days Our Lord walked the earth in the flesh up until the Protestant Deformation. While I agree with you about the advisability of avoiding all reference to coverage by CNN of anything, I don't mind it in this post. After all, a broken clock is right twice a day.

@ charity demands:

I took your advice, slogged through the original speech to the employees of the Dicastery Of Communication -

http://m.vatican.va/content/francescomobile/en/speeches/2019/september/documents/papa-francesco_20190923_dicastero-comunicazione.html

Three main points:

1: Don’t proselytize (def - attempt to convert someone to be Catholic). “You must not. It is not Christian” to convert others.

2: Stop trying to be authentically Christian. “I am allergic to those words, ‘small but authentic’”.

3: Don’t be a noun Christian “I am of Christ”. Be rather an adjective Christian who does things.

There you have it. His speech. What an inspiration it is.

Fr. Chad Ripperger's Breastplate of St. Patrick (Modified) & Binding Prayer ("In the Name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and God, and by the power of the Most Holy Catholic Church of Jesus, I render all spirits impotent...")

    Deliverance Prayers II  The Minor Exorcisms and Deliverance Prayers compiled by Fr Chad Ripperger: Breastplate of St. Patrick (Modified) I bind (myself, or N.) today to a strong virtue, an invocation of the Trinity. I believe in a Threeness, with a confession of an Oneness in the Creator of the Universe. I bind (myself, or N.) today to the virtue of Christ’s birth with his baptism, to the virtue of his crucifixion with his burial, to the virtue of his resurrection with his ascension, to the virtue of his coming to the Judgment of Doom.

5 Dubia Questions for 1P5's Steve Skojec & All faithful Catholics especially Francis is definitely Pope Cardinals, Bishops & pundits

Here are five really short and easy to answer dubia questions which hopefully aren't too complicated for Steve Skojec, publisher of the One Peter Five website, to answer. To make it really easy for the publisher of One Peter Five it has been formatted so that he only has to answer: yes or no. 1. Doctor of the Church St. Francis de Sales said "The Pope... when he is explicitly a heretic... the Church must either deprive him or as some say declare him deprived of his Apostolic See." Was St. Francis de Sales a Sedevacantist or a Benevacantist? Answer: yes or no. 2. "Universal Acceptance" theologian John of St. Thomas said "This man in particular lawfully elected and accepted by the Church is the supreme pontiff." Was John of St. Thomas for saying "the supreme pontiff" must be BOTH "lawfully elected and accepted by the Church" a Sedevacantist or a Benevacantist? Answer: yes or no. 3. Do you think that a "supreme pontiff...

UPDATE: Fr. Ripperger's Prayer Recommendation for the Election: He Calls It "The Most Efficatious Prayer in Crushing Diabolical Influence In the Area of Oppression"!

During a recent interview on the Grace Force Podcast on YouTube, Exorcist Fr. Chad Ripperger   provided updated information that the prayers he officially recommends  for the laity to say with regard to the election, President Trump and our country  are the two  prayers posted below.  https://youtu.be/UKrLr4jW0Eo First of all, it is very important to start by saying that the usual means of receiving merit and graces are of paramount importance. That is, remain in a state of grace, recite the rosary daily, attend Mass as frequently as possible, receiving frequent communion, and frequent confession.  Father Ripperger mentions that we should offer all these things up and ultimately to be praying for an "honest, fair, and just election"..."and "for Trump's protection."  He references his book,  Deliverance Prayers: for Use by the Laity,  and states, "there is a prayer, and this is the one that I'm going to recommend because it's the one...
