It depends on what the definition of heaven, is.
I hope he’s preaching that to the “refugees” he took to the Vatican.
How long did it take for him to realize that?

The pope also stressed the importance of Jesus and eternity in a February 2015 homily
The Church is therefore obliged to view evangelisation to Jews, who believe in the one God, in a different manner from that to people of other religions and world views. In concrete terms this means that the Catholic Church neither conducts nor supports any specific institutional mission work directed towards Jews.
So how does this all square with Amoris Laetitia, and in particular, footnote #351?
Francis’ Janus-faced commentary over the course of his papacy constitutes the quintessential head game. Thank God for the trustworthy teachings of Sacred Scripture, of the Saints, holy Popes and spiritual guides which transmit to us the unadulterated Truth, especially in these times when we are being relentlessly bombarded with error — even from the highest echelons of the Church.
Does that mean he no longer believes atheists can make it into Heaven?
“”A Christian without a church is something purely idealistic, it is not real.”
The conclusion is so simple that even Pope Francis, a hick from Argentina, gets it. No salvation outside the Church. Analogy. No animals lived outside of Noah’s ark .
If Francis truly believes that Jesus is the only way to heaven, why does he promote and encourage the people who say that He isn’t the only answer?
Deuteronomy 4:19 and Malachi 1:11.
My brain hurts.
With this pope, I thought the way to heaven was fighting global warming deniers.
When a person who has turned himself over to Christ as his Lord and Savior becomes saved, he has become part of Christ's Church. Else, I agree with the Pope - for once (or maybe twice or even three times), but I guess it's all moot since I am a lapsed Catholic who attends a Christian Church.
Sad that this is “news”, but it is news.
Well good for him for saying so but how does this conform with his statements that atheists can go to heaven? This man is the most inconsistent and intellectually lazy pope in the history of the church.
If he’s serious he would renounce any and all catholic writings that attribute any and all aspects of salvation associated with Mary.
Even a broken calendar is right once per year.
If you truly extend an amen to all that is in that article, well, may God have mercy upon such a soul.
