The Pope says there is no Hell.

[Lightbringer]

lmao...

I'm no longer taking you guys seriously.

I'm heartbroken.

Well, the Vatican putting out a statement denying that the pope said this sounds like damage control to me, much like how Trump's administration have to deny and reinterpret what he says.

I highly doubt that an interviewer would risk major legal ramifications and his career for a fake quote from the Pope. There's nothing to gain from this.

Same could be said about the Pope but on a much higher scale. I doubt he'd risk his own reputation with such a statement. Anyways with the Vatican's denial, no recorded evidence and most importantly the Pope himself not publicly supporting this statement it just becomes he said she said at this point and nothing more..

 

[Chikombo]

When I was religious I had a similar thought that there was no hell just a no to heaven. This is interesting.

And another thing,

Who does he think he is, a prophet?What would he know?

He says "smile", but I'm somewhat disappointed. Where are all the pedo popes gonna go, when they die? It's like he made that statement to make all the "sinners" feel better about death.They need to be punished, I feel sorry for none of them...then on top of that, people with common sense aren't convinced of a heaven or hell, so he's still not doing himself any justice.

And then telling them their souls are gonna disappear just because they were predisposed sounds more like an insult and a set up, more than anything. The ones in need of a "hell" are the one's who choose to do wrong on a "whim".Those are the most evil kind of people on this planet.

I think being a "pope" is just a bypass for undercover pedophiles, like drug trafficking.

During the dark ages the pope told people it was ok to ignore one of the commandements and kill people in the name of God. To go along with the crusades. I'm sure this guy has power, people are gonna start ignoring the concept of hell now just cus he said this.

acutally no.

Pope is just a head; he can be wrong at times; your taking his word over what is written in the bible and that too way literally.

Hell is real, but the statements written regarding this concept is highly metaphorical so you should think twice before you take at face value.

 

[UnderTheRedHood]

Just believe in god and there is hell

 

[kiiro]

Mmm there 3 places, hell, heaven and one place were if you could not go to one of those.

 

[Dreckerplayer]

I think earth is a lot worst, than anything.

"Souls are not punished. Those who repent obtain God's forgiveness and go among the ranks of those who contemplate him, but those who do not repent and cannot be forgiven disappear. There is no hell — there is the disappearance of sinful souls." -Pope Francis

Even the Pope is skeptical of the bible.

I am skeptical of whether the pope said this or not

 

[TheEvilOne]

Of course there is no hell/ god/ vampires/ fairies/ wizards etc. People should let go of their imaginary friends to make the world a better place.

 

[Sauce]

I think everyone should be skeptical of the Bible since it was, IMO, written by man to be used for political as well as monetary gain. Not to say that people can't have faith, but there is a difference between that and just being ignorant.

Except this was reported by a 93 years old Italian journalist who is famous for not taking any notes.

And an atheist to boot.

“What happened with the latest interview given to Eugenio Scalfari during Holy Week and made public on Holy Thursday was beyond tolerable,” Cardinal Burke said in an interview with La Nuova Bussola Quotidiana.

“That a famous atheist claims to announce a revolution in the teaching of the Catholic Church, believing to speak in the name of the Pope, denying the immortality of the human soul and the existence of hell, has been a source of profound scandal not only for many Catholics but also for many lay people who respect the Catholic Church and its teachings, even if they do not share them.”

That's it, plus the Pope spoke about the existence of hell in other (public) speeches he delivered. Some people really suppress their critical thinking when it's about having a desperate need to shame the Catholic Church

The Saints, Doctors and Mystics of the Church throughout the ages have all affirmed the existence of Hell.

The Cathecism of the Catholic Church clearly and definitively states that Hell does exists

CCC 1035 "The teaching of the Church affirms the existence of hell and its eternity. Immediately after death the souls of those who die in a state of mortal sin descend into hell, where they suffer the punishments of hell, "eternal fire The chief punishment of hell is eternal separation from God, in whom alone man can possess the life and happiness for which he was created and for which he longs."

That's why it's called heresy. And so what if the Pope said something different years ago? You mean to say he can't have his own revelation about the bible? Do beliefs not change?

Lmao, if you don't believe hell exists, then where the hell are, sinful humans supposed to go to?

You think all of our habits, thoughts, habitat, tendencies, all came into existence, just like that?


You're taking logic too far; and ignoring tradition and cultural ancestral hearsay.

The ancients are not dumb to draw three/four pictures of said hell in pyramids and tombs.

Of course they can change, the fact that he manifested his belief in hell still increases the probabilities that he still holds that belief. Given the very dubious witness that his beliefs in fact changed, the most reasonable conclusion is still that he agrees with what he himself claimed

To oblivion. The universe has no moral principles as far as evidence shows. It simply is and we being the only known conscience beings to inhabit the only known planet with life are the one's who created these concepts of morality and the afterlife.

You think all of our habits, thoughts, habitat, tendencies, all came into existence, just like that?

No, it took trillions of years to develop. It didn't just "pop" into existence. Everything in the universe is made of the same material, it's just the difference in how many atoms and in what structure they're in which creates differences between things.

Wtf does that even mean? Taking logic too far? That's not a thing. There's being logical and then there's being ignorant and dumb.

So if you're saying that Egyptians figured out the afterlife then you're admitting that the Egyptian mythology is the true religion, with Ra being the God that pulls the Sun to make it rise every morning. If that's not what you're saying, then your point about the pyramids is redundant.

 

[Mori Jin]

So even if the pope did say it, then Hell will suddenly just dissappear? Must have reality warping powers this pope. I wonder why he doesn't use it to conquer the world or universe or something.

Lol no, Morality is something ingrained into us, by a Greater Being.


The very basis of religion is teaching such things are of God so you're literally claiming they wrote those books for literal time pass, and not something worthwhile.

No, it took trillions of years to develop. It didn't just "pop" into existence. Everything in the universe is made of the same material, it's just the difference in how many atoms and in what structure they're in which creates differences between things.

How can it build 'itself' from thousands of years? That's like saying after said years, a rock can form into a Whole another Earth, which literally doesn't make sense. And all those religious books aren't stupid to right all that they wrote, which begs the point, something such as 'hell' might exist which can be proven by the scientific study conducted by ancients. If you're aware, certain ancient technological accessories are nearly impossible to recreate with Modern Technology. Which begs the point they clearly had more scientific backup than us so thier 'word' is obviously more credible than ours.

Coincidently, every civilization all over the world thought, hell exists.

Plus drew and painted scenarios of what'll happen in that 'hell'.

I don't think they'd use imaginations to draw in literal dead body placing tombs. That's not a place for utilizing imagination.

Wtf does that even mean? Taking logic too far? That's not a thing. There's being logical and then there's being ignorant and dumb.

Lol, that's a thing, when someone tries to practicalize each and every thing, which cannot be explained by science.

Eqyptian Mythology have similarities to Greek, Chinese, Bible, Romans, etc cera which begs the point, all of them coincidently figured out it's secret, and gave names to what they figured out, yet what they figured out had a core similarity, and if we pick out that core similarity, then the message it delivers, is literally the same.

Which means Majority, especially ancients, who're far devoloped than us, won't spend time creating fantasies, and could be trusted with thier findings, which infers, Hell could indeed exist.
