Always remember that the prime difference between a Protestant and a Jesuit is that the Protestant admits that they are not Catholic.
Is the Pope Catholic?
This one damn sure ain’t!
The Catholic Church did it to themselves.
I cannot wrap my arms around this new Pope. I have asked for forgiveness for this weakness but, still can’t shake it. He goes against so many things I have been taught to believe. It is hard when your faith is shaken up by someone you are supposed to admire as the vicar of the church.
Pat Buchanan said it best ....if there is no hell Jesus dying on the cross was pointless. This Pope is at best nuts and at worst a heretic.
Will i still receive my Amazon Prime?
This is fake news put out by an atheist journalist. The Pope has been on record many times talking about he’ll, Satan, demons, etc. I’m not a huge fan of this Pope but and definitely against lies to purposely harm the Catholic Church.
Maybe Francis will believe when he finds himself in the sixth circle of hell with the other heretics.
“Catastrophic for the Catholic Church: World media reacts to Pope Francis denial of hell”
No more catastrophic than the various schisms the Church has had over the course of its history.
The Church survived those...it’ll survive Bergulio.
This is what happens when you put a lowlife scumbag Marxist thug in charge.

He never did what he should have done: give a pointed speech in which he explained what the Church teaches about hell. That he didn’t, means he doesn’t care that the faithful had their faith shaken and now don’t know what the hell to believe.
He needs to resign.
Ecc 12:5 Also they are afraid of height, And of terrors in the way; When the almond tree blossoms, The grasshopper is a burden, And desire fails. For man goes to his eternal home, And the mourners go about the streets.
This eternal home is either good or bad, but it clearly speaks of being dead to the world.
Mat 25:46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."
Everlasting punishment is not annihilation.
Mar 3:29 but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation"--
While true, condemnation doesn't necessarily mean fire, but it is eternal.
Jud 1:7 as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
This does speak plainly of eternal fire.
Luk 16:24 Then he cried and said, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.'
So the rich man is dead, and apparently lived an evil life, but is still able to feel the flames.
Rev 20:14 Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
Rev 20:15 And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.
We might be arguing over the number of angels on the head of a pin, but the second death is what is to be avoided at all costs. If we think about it very long, why are we even contemplating not living forever with out Lord and Savior? He has made it so easy to be saved. He has paid our price so we wouldn't have to. Jesus didn't come to condemn us but to save us. He said the WORD would judge us. The further we drift from what Scripture says, the more judgement will fall upon us. Rather than trying to figure out how hot hell is, why not fall in love with Jesus and contemplate eternal bliss living with someone that loves us more than His life here on earth?
One thing I've observed over my years of studying Scripture is, this world is NOT our reality. Heaven with God is our reality. This world is scheduled to burn and is NOT eternal. Even the people that take the mark from the Antichrist will only buy themselves another couple of years before they are tossed into hell for eternity. If life is that important here on earth, it will end badly for you. The people that are willing to die here on earth for Christ, will be rewarded in Heaven. It doesn't matter if you get cancer, catch a bullet from a drive by, run your car off a cliff, or get eaten by an animal, every person living right now will die unless Jesus comes back for us first. How stupid is it to be thinking about annihilation verses eternal flame? Eternal life is better than temporary life, and living together in Heaven is better than being annihilated.
One of my oldest friends is a serious - and deeply concerned - Catholic. He is so serious that one of his sons became a priest. And what is the cause of his concern? On numerous occasions, but especially when news of some new and disturbing revelation makes its way into the media, he has commented that he is absolutely convinced that the Vatican has been under the control of Marxists and/or OTHER unGodly influences for many decades!
If YOU are a Catholic, the video at the link will make you very angry. Much of what it contains has been scantily covered in the American press or not at all.
That said, I share your concern that not only has the very top of YOUR church been compromised by forces inimical to Christ’s commission to St. Peter, but the evidence is clear that these same Satanic forces have captured the upper reaches of most religions.
We must pray that their leadership can be returned to a clear understanding of their mission and work to see that they do so.
