Leonardo De Chirico, Italian evangelical pastor of the Church Breccia di Roma, told those gathered at the Conference last week in Orlando, Florida, that despite his overtures, the pope and Roman Catholic Church maintain positions contrary to the spirit of the Protestant Reformation and that are at odds with modern evangelicalism. "He is ... the first Jesuit pope. And remember, the Jesuit order was founded in the 16th century to fight against the spreading of the Protestant Reformation," said De Chirico.
"With Pope Francis, the Jesuit order comes to us with a smiling face, but always carrying with him not only the tradition, but also the goal of the Jesuit order to dismantle, to deconstruct the Protestant Reformation and to offer a Roman Catholic alternative."
