Pope Francis evangelizes very differently than US conservatives
Francis is talking both about inspiration and education (bring out). He preaches the Good News. As a bishop, his chief role is to proclaim the Resurrection of the Lord. He speaks and acts as one of us, constantly praying and using words only when necessary. The bishops need to remember that they are to proclaim the Gospel of Christ, not the stoic ethics of St. Augustine, St. Anselm and Marcus Aurelius.
If rationality is to be used, the proposition that the Father is perfect in Love (and the Spirit is the embodiment of Love) should be mixed with the philosophical certainty that God must be perfectly humble - not just Christ before the Father, but the entire Godhead. This is a concept that I am sure Abp Gomez would choke on.
