We must always speak the truth. The vatican is denying that this was said and it is well known that Scalfari does not take notes. Just saying.

[Garand Hunter]

Don't be surprised at ANYTHING that this pope says. Alot of people were fooled when he first came on the religious world scene. Big changes occurred when he left South America and arrived in Rome.

Psalm 1

The Vatican poo-poos the reporter.

That may very well be “fake news,” indeed. However, the Pope himself should have come out with a vengeance denying the report. So far as of today, we haven’t heard Francis himself emphatically denying the report. FOX news reported the same story about an hour ago.

The problem is, this particular Pope has “priors” when it comes to giving out bizarre claims and /or comments.

In his defense however, I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt. I can’t believe he would seriously actually believe this, when the Bible is crystal clear about a heaven AND a hell. I believe the majority of the Catholic Church would never ascribe to such an ignorant claim. Then again, Francis is just another sinful man like you and me, so it wouldn’t be surprising if he really did make the claim.

Hard to imagine the Pope saying that.

There is another thread on this subject. The Vatican made it pretty clear the Pope was misquoted. But I'm sure that really doesn't matter.

What a mess this Pope is.

[Doheny]

No way in hell the pope said that.

i have long heard hell described as merely estrangement from god.
ever see something you want so badly but just can't have?
ever been dying of thirst, with a fountain of cool clear water just out of reach?
imagine seeing the glory and love within god's light, but forever remaining in the darkness and unable to enjoy it.
that is hell (to some).

Hell, then, is not primarily a place where God sends people in his wrath, or where God displays anger, but rather, it is the love of God, experienced by one who is not in communion with him. The figurative, spiritual fire of God’s love is transcendent joy to the person purified and transfigured by it through communion in the body of Christ, but bottomless despair and suffering to the person who rejects it, and chooses to remain in communion with death.

There is, but there's only 265 popes standing around in it, complaining, "I can't-a see-a mah house from here!"

hp is merely a vehicle for opinion, it doesn't write them.
they suck, even 8 years ago, but that doesn't mean there was never anything worth reading in it.

bashing the message because of the publisher is libtard stuff. don't do it.
if you disagree, just disagree.

i'm not even saying this is what i believe, only that the pope is not the first to say something like this.
