He was talking about Catholics, Orthodox, non-Catholics and even Muslims all going to heaven in a little rowboat, chug-a-lug
Not based on the above excerpt he wasn't. Is there a place where he says 'Catholics, Orthodox, non-Catholics and even Muslims'.
Because it is not in the above excerpt. All that excerpt identifies is the Church.
He was talking to a Wednesday audience, which would probably be mostly if not entirely Catholic, but even so, he’s wrong. Not all Catholics are going to Heaven either.
Also, it has always been the understanding of the Church that there are many people in the Invisible Church, whether because they were virtuous pagans who never knew Christ or because things prevented them from being part of the visible Church, who are going to Heaven.
But this Pope is idiotic in saying everybody is going - to me it means that he regards human beings as no different from animals, with no free will and no moral authority, who just float off into the ether.
I keep wondering if he’s (a) malevolent; (b) stupid or (c) senile.
He’s extremely authoritarian and aggressive, but at the same time, I think he believes he’s doing the right thing, so I guess I wouldn’t call him malevolent.
He has a lot of trouble walking and his speech is very confused when he’s not reading from a text. He’s very leftwing, but I don’t think even that could account for some of his bizarre statements. Just my opinion, but I think he may have a touch of early dementia.
