Agreed, it’s as though he’s never seen a Bible.

[Nifster]

Anyhow quickly will we see the obligatory “the pope was misquoted...”?

[ealgeone]

6Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.". John 14:6 NASb

The Greek behind this makes it crystal clear there is only one way to the Father and that is through Christ. No exceptions.

Not sure what book or tradition the pope is reading or leaning upon but he is completely wrong.

[sphinx]

Not any more, apparently.

[DoodleDawg]

Sure would be a hell of a shock for the atheist, wouldn’t it?

On behalf of God, FUPF!

[Iscool]

I hope god takes pity on atheists who are genuinely good people

There aren't any good people...

Mar 10:18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.

[depressed in 06]

Can I have 72 virgins, also?

[JoeFromSidney]

Weii, anyone can get to heaven if they repent and reform. However, I can't picture any of the atheists I've known doing that.

[aumrl]

A perfect Lady;
What law are you referring to?
No one has kept all of the law.

save One

[Roman_War_Criminal]

Sure “POPE”....

What verse is that again?

I live & die by John 14:6, Romans 10:9-10, Act 16:31 and John 6:29.

What about you?

[editor-surveyor]

.
Amazing how all of the popes of the last 70 years want to disregard Revelation 20 and Matthew 7 completely.

If Yeshua doesn’t know you, you can’t get in.

[aumrl]

Great Al E
but it is not my or your place to judge that..

[Roman_War_Criminal]

LOL!

You plan on keeping the law?
You broke it before you could even talk!

[tumblindice]

Popes say the darnedest things!

[Lazamataz]

Pope Francis says God opens heaven's doors to non-believers who "obey their conscience," shattering a widely-held assumption about Christian beliefs and reinforcing his image as the most progressive pontiff in history.

If Catholics do not revolt IMMEDIATELY and depose this Satanic bastard, the Catholic Church will be completely gone soon.

He really is Peter the Roman, the last pope.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Antonio Scalfari is a 90-year-old atheist who by his own admission conducts "interviews" with no audio recording and without even taking written notes, and then puts in " "'s (in "QUOTES") things that the Pope did not say.

Then, taking it to a new level of almost stratospheric incoherence, "The Oregonian" manages to under-think, under-research and over-speculate, that is, to mush it up even more.

And you-- uh--- you go to The Oregonian? for theology?

Where do you go for science news: the National Enquirer?

[Roman_War_Criminal]

That will be the Catholics MO since they’ve been trying to play interference on every stupid thing that comes out of Jorge’s mouth.

[combat_boots]

True. That’s not what I said. I said that the Pope heads up the “earthly office of Christianity.” Else why have Peter?
