"Look at how" Bergoglio is a liar. "Look at how" Bergoglio is a manipulator. The Apostles did not impose upon the Gentiles circumcision but they were required to uphold the Ten Commandments and other matters including not drinking blood or eating meat not properly slaughtered and to live in chastity. All of us are required to worship God in truth and holiness and proper worship (liturgy).
Demanding an end to menstrual blood offerings to a pagan goddess is entirely scriptural!
Bergoglio is a manipulator, a liar and a thug.
If that is not clear to you know, it will never be.
Acts 15 Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (RSVCE)
The Council at Jerusalem
15 But some men came down from Judea and were teaching the
brethren, “Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you
cannot be saved.” 2 And when Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and
debate with them, Paul and Barnabas and some of the others were appointed to go
up to Jerusalem to the apostles and the elders about this question. 3 So, being
sent on their way by the church, they passed through both Phoeni′cia and
Samar′ia, reporting the conversion of the Gentiles, and they gave great joy to
all the brethren. 4 When they came to Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the
church and the apostles and the elders, and they declared all that God had done
with them. 5 But some believers who belonged to the party of the Pharisees rose
up, and said, “It is necessary to circumcise them, and to charge them to keep
the law of Moses.”
6 The apostles and the elders were gathered together to
consider this matter. 7 And after there had been much debate, Peter rose and
said to them, “Brethren, you know that in the early days God made choice among
you, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and
believe. 8 And God who knows the heart bore witness to them, giving them the
Holy Spirit just as he did to us; 9 and he made no distinction between us and
them, but cleansed their hearts by faith. 10 Now therefore why do you make
trial of God by putting a yoke upon the neck of the disciples which neither our
fathers nor we have been able to bear? 11 But we believe that we shall be saved
through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they will.”
12 And all the assembly kept silence; and they listened to
Barnabas and Paul as they related what signs and wonders God had done through
them among the Gentiles. 13 After they finished speaking, James replied,
“Brethren, listen to me. 14 Symeon has related how God first visited the
Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name. 15 And with this the words
of the prophets agree, as it is written,
16 ‘After this I will return,
and I will rebuild the dwelling of David, which has fallen;
I will rebuild its ruins,
and I will set it up,
17 that the rest of men may seek the Lord,
and all the Gentiles who are called by my name,
18 says the Lord, who has made these things known from of
old.’
19 Therefore my judgment is that we should not trouble those
of the Gentiles who turn to God, 20 but should write to them to abstain from
the pollutions of idols and from unchastity and from what is strangled[a] and
from blood. 21 For from early generations Moses has had in every city those who
preach him, for he is read every sabbath in the synagogues.”
The Council’s Letter to Gentile Believers
22 Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with
the whole church, to choose men from among them and send them to Antioch with
Paul and Barnabas. They sent Judas called Barsab′bas, and Silas, leading men
among the brethren, 23 with the following letter: “The brethren, both the
apostles and the elders, to the brethren who are of the Gentiles in Antioch and
Syria and Cili′cia, greeting. 24 Since we have heard that some persons from us
have troubled you with words, unsettling your minds, although we gave them no
instructions, 25 it has seemed good to us in assembly to choose men and send
them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, 26 men who have risked their
lives for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ. 27 We have therefore sent Judas
and Silas, who themselves will tell you the same things by word of mouth. 28
For it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay upon you no greater
burden than these necessary things: 29 that you abstain from what has been
sacrificed to idols and from blood and from what is strangled[b] and from
unchastity. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. Farewell.”
30 So when they were sent off, they went down to Antioch;
and having gathered the congregation together, they delivered the letter. 31
And when they read it, they rejoiced at the exhortation. 32 And Judas and
Silas, who were themselves prophets, exhorted the brethren with many words and
strengthened them. 33 And after they had spent some time, they were sent off in
peace by the brethren to those who had sent them.[c] 35 But Paul and Barnabas
remained in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others
also.
Paul and Barnabas Separate
36 And after some days Paul said to Barnabas, “Come, let us
return and visit the brethren in every city where we proclaimed the word of the
Lord, and see how they are.” 37 And Barnabas wanted to take with them John called
Mark. 38 But Paul thought best not to take with them one who had withdrawn from
them in Pamphyl′ia, and had not gone with them to the work. 39 And there arose
a sharp contention, so that they separated from each other; Barnabas took Mark
with him and sailed away to Cyprus, 40 but Paul chose Silas and departed, being
commended by the brethren to the grace of the Lord. 41 And he went through
Syria and Cili′cia, strengthening the churches.

Fake news reporting on the fake pope and his fake teaching.
If they can twist the words of Christ Himself, hardly surprising their twisting the Apostals words. One good thing is they are showing their true intent out in the open, they've been hoodwinking the laity for decades.Their Catholic facade is crumbling exposing the rot.
Fake church, fake mass, fake sacraments, fake everything. Avoid them like your soul depended on it.
The apostles did not demand circumcision from the Gentiles because they were required to be baptized which is the circumcision of the Heart.
Absolutely correct, which even implicates Bergoglio more.
