Pope Francis Denies the Existence of Hell

Rorate Caeli | 03-29-2018

[NRx]

[Scalfari:] Your Holiness, in our previous meeting you told me that our species will disappear in a certain moment and that God, still out of his creative force, will create new species. You have never spoken to me about the souls who died in sin and will go to hell to suffer it for eternity. You have however spoken to me of good souls, admitted to the contemplation of God. But what about bad souls? Where are they punished?

[Francis:] "They are not punished, those who repent obtain the forgiveness of God and enter the rank of souls who contemplate him, but those who do not repent and cannot therefore be forgiven disappear. There is no hell, there is the disappearance of sinful souls."

Sola Scriptura versus Sola Ecclesia.

I love “Lucifer” but their theology is difficult to fathom. I think they are building it as they go to survive the plot (just like “Charmed” did).

Dave Reagan too.

Un-Poped...

That’s Funny Right There !

[Lazamataz]

This Pope DIRECTLY CONTRADICTS the Bible, and Jesus’s teaching.

This is NOT A POPE. This is an EVIL MOCKERY of a Pope.

[FatherofFive]

Until recently it was not advisable for Catholics to even read the Bible.

BS

[Buckeye McFrog]

That is absolutely not Biblical.

[SkyDancer]

This pope doesn’t seem to be as popular now as when he was elected.

This is a repost of the 2015 interview with the famed liberal athiest Scalfari who does not take notes during the interview.
Misleading post I think.

[Pilgrim's Progress]

Forget about the doctrine of ‘infallibility’ - this is the leader of the Roman Catholic church!!! If he makes a statement so blatantly false and blasphemous (he’s calling God a liar) how can the faithful Catholic tolerate this?

I was around when Vatican II changed the mass to the vernacular of the people and the exodus that followed. Many Catholics found churches where the Bible was preached and taught.

I’ll be surprised if this does not happen again. Francis is the best argument against Catholic dogma today.

[9YearLurker]

Completely making up his theology on the fly?

[aMorePerfectUnion]

Rotting from the fish-head (hat) down... now evident to all who are paying attention.

An increasing number of ministers have fallen into the 'welcoming' heresy of not being too 'mean' to unbelievers by warning them. There is a serious lack of much-needed "hellfire and brimstone" preaching these days, and it has had a devastating effect on modern Christianity. Jesus himself preached hellfire and brimstone, but you wouldn't know it by listening to our revisionist "preachers," who paint Him falsely as a sugar-coated pushover.

I think what gets them averse to the biblical teaching of hell is that it seems incongruent punishment to the crime. This proves that they don't understand the bottomless ugliness of sin, or 'eternity' in its biblical definition.

Who told you that?

BS

You might want to back up on your "BS" statement.

Anti-Pope. Perhaps the Anti-Christ. If not then the defender of him.

[Lazamataz]

Nostrademus predicted him as the Last Pope.

He is.

[circlecity]

Why would there be in any Pope’s case. Or any Priest’s case for that matter.

[utahagen]

I don’t believe Pope Francis believes in God, never mind Catholicism. Of course, he can’t admit that, so he just denies individual beliefs as he’s asked about them.

[circlecity]

"I don’t believe Pope Francis believes in God, never mind Catholicism."

He gave an address to an entire joint session of congress and never once mentioned the Gospel. This about that.
