No, he never said that. He did say this, however:
“Hence the way of belonging to God is explained: it comes about THROUGH A UNIQUE AND PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS,
which Baptism confers on us from the beginning of our rebirth to new life. It is Christ, therefore, who continually summons us by his word to place our trust in him, loving him “with all the heart, with all the understanding, and with all the strength” (Mk 12:33). Therefore every vocation, even within the variety of paths, always requires an exodus from oneself in order to centre one’s life on Christ and on his Gospel.”

Maybe if you read articles instead of headlines you would not have made the mistake you have made. How sad and embarrassing for you.
I’m sure you are referring, incorrectly, to this:
In his address, he warned against those who “THINK they can have a personal, direct, immediate relationship with Jesus Christ OUTSIDE of the communion and the mediation of the Church.”
He wasn’t doubting that people can and MUST have a relationship with Jesus. He just warned against the idea that you can do it without any reference to or communion with His Body. And he was right to do so. http://www.asianews.it/news-en/For-pope,-we-are-Christians-because-we-belong-to-the-Church,-one-cannot-love-God-outside-of-the-Church-31455.html
I really pity you. You are either completely unfamiliar with what the pope really believes - even though he makes public statements calling on people to have a personal relationship with Jesus just as I posted at the top of this post - or you are doing something far more despicable.
I’ll mail this to you just in case it gets deleted to protect you from your embarrassment.
What an asinine statement...Can not love God outside of the Catholic Church...And that's because God IS the Catholic Church, eh???
It's hard to believe the leader of your religion can be so stupid...
Neither your pope nor any of you apparently have any concept of what a biblical personal relationship with Jesus Christ is...Your pope seems to think it is getting baptized into your religion and eating a wafer...
I made my statement before it occurred to me that you pope has no idea what he's talking about on that issue (as well)...
