You don’t know what you’re talking about. Bergoglio granted an interview to an atheist editor where Bergoglio denied the existence of Hell. It was posted, after Bergoglio’s personal review, twice on the Vatican’s website before finally being removed with no explanation.

Don’t you dare imply I’m quoting the resources you that you claim in your post.

Please give us the exact quote where Pope Francis denied the existence of hell.

According to LifeSite News --- which I consider a reliable source:

"The most recent interview, published March 15, is no exception. In it Scalfari has the pope denying hell. (Following is a quote from Scalfari, not from Pope Francis but attributed to Francis.)

The text does not have quotation marks around any of the statements attributed to the Holy Father."

It was removed from the Vatican website.

Troubling, yes; obviously AGAIN a matter of designed gas-lighting and plausible deniability. I consider this contemptible in anyone, including Jorge Bergoglio. But again, it's not making a doctrine out of heresy. You can't "make doctrine" out of an interview in which "journalist" Scalfari neither made a recording nor even took notes (!!), but literally (!) fabricated (!) quotes (!)

Which was exactly as the Pope permitted it to play out. The more shame on him. But it's obfuscation and gaslighting, not the formulation of heretical doctrine.

It goes to show that you can corrupt Catholic pastoral practice, and even corrupt Catholic culture, without taking a meat-axe to Catholic doctrine per se, which still has its ghostly existence on the yellowing pages of the Catechism.

Maddening.
