I assume this is a pro-cryonics quote, but I don’t quite see how it relates to rationality. Its point is, quite clearly, “Accept Jesus as your personal savior and gain the gift of Eternal Life”.
It seems to me it’s anti-death rather than pro-cryonics; the two aren’t quite the same, and in particular being anti-death no more implies being pro-cryonics than it implies being pro-Jesus. And while no doubt Bergoglio’s (= Pope Francis’s) anti-death-ism is tightly tied up with his pro-Jesus-ism, what he’s written here can stand on its own as an expression of an anti-death attitude.
(I’m not sure being strongly opposed to death should really qualify something as a Rationality Quote either, but that’s a different complaint from “it’s really all about Jesus”.)
