How convenient that bad souls just "disappear."

[AU72]

Can’t wait for his latest views on the Trinity, Virgin Birth and Transubstantiation.

[tet68]

That this is NOT from the Onion is a sad commentary
on the state of religion today.

[Uncle Miltie]

The Pope’s a commie, Jim.

[MeganC]

Mr. Bergoglio is going to go to Hell.

>>How convenient that bad souls just “disappear.”

Remember, he’s a communist. So, “heaven” is heaven on earth, created by man through redistribution and thought laws. “Sinners” are people who are counter-revolutionary and they do generally just disappear.

Meanwhile, out in the woods, the bears are building elaborate comfort stations....

[Jim Robinson]

Pope’s a dope.

[Slyfox]

He lost me when he compared parents having more than two children as "rabbits."

But now, I will consider Pope Benedict as the REAL POPE.

[DuncanWaring]

MPCA!

Make the Pope Catholic Again!

[Salvavida]

Well then.

The eternal Son left heaven to suffer and be humiliated and killed on a cross at the hands of the creation He came to save, fulfilling all prophecies, for no apparent reason.

It was for a goof.

Pupe Francis...

[Slyfox]

Back when he was a bishop there was a Eucharistic Miracle that took place within his jurisdiction. He got it analyzed by a laboratory without telling the scientists what they had in their hands. The report came back that it was heart tissue from a man who had been brutalized to death and it had the very same blood-type found on the Shroud of Turin.

My point - even with this evidence in his own hands he cannot believe.

[Red Badger]

Would that not also be forever separation from God?.................

[KC_Lion]

The Pope has obviously never been to New Jersey.

[Dilbert San Diego]

I wonder if a pope can be impeached, called to take, called to account in any way, and in the worst case, removed from office???

Anecdotal evidence, that some people close to me are devout, and are really distressed about this pope. In the worst case they could end up leaving the church. It would be Catholicism’s loss to lose loyal followers such as my friends.

Worse than a Commie, the Pope is an agnostic/atheist. Notice how the Pope doesn't really deny that he doesn't believe in Hell? The Vatican just quibbles about the translation. Imagine if you gave an interview and the it should be published as asserting you believed non-white races were inferior. Would you issue a mild statement, “The translation was not word-for-word”? Or would you state, “I said nothing of the sort. I believe all races are equal. That bears no resemblance to anything I said”? Of course, you would state the latter, as well as demanding the interviewer issue an apology and a retraction.

By the way, this is at least the THIRD time this POPE has remarked that there is no Hell, that people who die in a state of mortal sin merely disappear. He is a manifest heretic.

A leftist is a leftist first, before he is anything else.

Commies don’t believe in Hell, therefore Frankie doesn’t believe in Hell.

[utahagen]

“My point - even with this evidence in his own hands he cannot believe.”

You're correct: this Pope cannot believe. It's been obvious to me from the get-go that this pope is not a Catholic, not a Christian, not a believer in God, or in the supernatural of any kind. I do not understand how anyone paying any attention can believe otherwise.

[grania]

Vatican should distance itself from the faux Pope and declare that everything he has said and done is illegitimate.
