In another interview with his longtime atheist friend, Eugenio Scalfari, Pope Francis claims that Hell does not exist and that condemned souls just "disappear." This is a denial of the 2,000-year-old teaching of the Catholic Church about the reality of Hell and the eternal existence of the soul.
The interview between Scalfari and the Pope was published March 28, 2018 in La Repubblica. The relevant section on Hell was translated by the highly respected web log, Rorate Caeli.
The interview is headlined, "The Pope: It is an honor to be called revolutionary." (Il Papa: “È un onore essere chiamato rivoluzionario.")
Scalfari says to the Pope, "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?"
Pope Francis says, "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."

There is no hell, there is only Francis.
Come on Catholics. You’re better than this.
First he thinks he’s editor for the Lord’s Prayer and knows theology better than Christ himself.
Now, no hell. Guess the Bible screwed that up too!!
If there is no Hell and condemned souls just disappear, what is purgatory?
>>How long until the Catholic church hires temple prostitutes?
May have already happened in China.

China is cracking down on funeral strippers, but it’s a decades-old ‘religious practice’ in Taiwan

...China is trying to shore up efforts to end the practice across 19 rural cities, spanning four provinces, but Taiwan has taken a more moderate approach.
“They’ve tried to limit full nudity, they’ve tried to limit it taking place in the middle of the larger urban centres, but they’ve been fairly tolerant of the practice in rural communities,” Professor Moskowitz said...

He’d better hope there’s no Hell. He’s on a bullet train to that location.
Sure, but why did the picture I posted make you respond with that ?
No Hell... No Heaven...
I tell them to “GoOOooo North”
Yup.
It’s also just more evidence that this pope has broken the joke, “Is the Pope Catholic?”
Well, I guess this Pope is a big believer in those (alleged) early 20th century “prophecies” about his number being that of “The Last Pope”, so he’s just acting to bring them about ...
... either that, or else he’s had a peek to see where he’s headed, and he didn’t like it!!!!
The Catholic Church
Wow, if he indeed did say that, that's a serious serious problem.
The only redemption I can see here for the Holy Father, pun intended, is that the Vatican said (in the OP article) that (once again), Pope Francis didn't have the conversation recorded in any way, so "No quotation of the aforementioned article must therefore be considered as a faithful transcription of the words of the Holy Father."
I will refrain from posting any more commentary for fear of offending the office of the Pope.
That sounds like something Beelzebub himself would say.
Great. I dodged a bullet but I wonder why the Nuns lied to me all the way back in school.
We wouldn’t want a religious leader to have even a passing acquaintance with Scripture now, would we?
In other words, Pope Francis says that God made up the Holy Bible!
