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.

If Francis is a Heretic, What should Canonically happen to him?

Did Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (the future Pope Benedict XVI) say that Francis is a heretic ?   On June 3, 2003 the then Cardinal Ratzinge r (and future Pope Benedict) , head of the Congregation for the Faith, said that the endorsement of  " homosex civil unions" was against Catholic teaching, that is heterodoxy : "Those who would move from tolerance to the legitimatization of specific rights for cohabiting homosexual persons need to be reminded that the approval or legalization of evil is something far different from the toleration of evil... The Church teaches that respect for homosexual persons cannot lead in any way to approval of homosexual behavior or to legal recognition of homosexual unions ." (Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, "Considerations Regarding Proposals to give Legal Recognition to Unions between Homosexual Persons," June 3, 2003) Gloria.tv reported: " Francis made on October 21 his latest declaration in sup...

A Hour which will Live in Infamy: 10:01pm November 3, 2020

10:01pm November 3, 2020, a hour which will live in infamy, the United States of America presidential electoral integrity was suddenly and deliberately attacked by the forces of the Democrat Machine and some corrupt collaborators within the Republican Party. It will be recorded that "under the pretense of COVID, executive branch officials across a number of key battleground states violated election procedures passed by the legislative branches of those states in a number of ways that opened up the process to fraud on a massive scale, never before seen in the history of this country" which makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks before. During the time before and after the attack the Democrat Machine and its corrupt collaborators in the Media have deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.  The attack on United States has caused severe damage to the Ameri...

Could Francis be an Antipope even though the Majority of Cardinals claim he is Pope?

Is it possible for someone to be an antipope even though the majority of cardinals claim he is pope? The case of Antipope Anacletus II proves that it is possible for a majority of cardinals to claim a man is pope while he, in reality, is an antipope. In 1130, a majority of cardinals voted for Cardinal Peter Pierleone to be pope. He called himself Anacletus II. He was proclaimed pope and ruled Rome for eight years by vote and consent of a absolute majority of the cardinals despite the fact he was a antipope. In 1130, just prior to the election of antipope Anacletus, a small minority of cardinals elected the real pope: Pope Innocent II. How is this possible? St. Bernard said "the 'sanior pars' (the wiser portion)... declared in favor of Innocent II. By this he probably meant a majority of the cardinal-bishops." (St. Bernard of Clairvaux by Leon Christiani, Page 72) Again, how is this possible when the absolute majority of cardinals voted for A...
