Where does the interpretation come from that the pope said all human beings will be saved? He was talking to those at the General Audience. Was he saying those at the General Audience will be saved because they are obviously more serious about their faith? That may be presumptuous, but exactly where did he say all human beings will be saved? When he condemned the Mafia earlier this year, saying they were on the road to Hell, why would he say that if he thought all human beings are saved?

There’s such a desperation here and other places to get him that it leads to unclear thinking and the most uncharitable interpretations of his words.
I’ve criticized liberal dissenters for years but the Catholics more Catholic than the pope are getting to be just as big a pain. They also tear at the Church’s unity.
