No Adam and Eve, No hell, all religions are right! Woman are to be ordained priests and even become Pope.
Big Changes!!




The church no longer believes in a literal hell.
Like the fable of Adam and Eve, we see hell as a literary device. Hell is merely a metaphor for the isolated soul, which like all souls ultimately will be united in love with God.”




“All religions are true, because they are true in the hearts of all those who believe in them. What other kind of truth is there? In the past, the church has been harsh on those it deemed morally wrong or sinful. Today, we no longer judge. Like a loving father, we never condemn our children. Our church is big enough for heterosexuals and homosexuals, for the pro-life and the pro-choice! For conservatives and liberals, even communists are welcome and have joined us. We all love and worship the same God.”

Funny the hell part is what JW's and many others have always been teaching an derided for all these years!
So if there is no Adam and Eve and God never walked in the garden with them how much do they believe how do they conclude any of it is true I wonder!

If the Catholics cannot see that this guy is half whacked out of his skill - they are STUPID.

He says there is no Hell and all will be reunited with God - couple that with all religions being right - so why have the catholic religion at all? seems to me, the Dope er.. i mean pope just made all of that cult ( The Catholic Church) null and void.

your OP source is anything but credible , and to be blunt :

IF pope francis had made the statements your OP claims - it would be picked up by EVER major news outlet and religious commentator

but just for #2 and giggles - one question - when was this speech given , where , and to whom [ audeience ] ?

Every star system has a "literal hell" or how is it put-- "The fire that is never quenched"?

Its the star at the center.

Only good apples leave their birth star, the rest get unmade in hell fire… and thats literally… forever.


…so be good for goodness sakes.

Yes, this was a satirical hoax piece originating here on December 5, 2013. The website does have a disclaimer that indicates the content is mostly satirical.

Sure would be nice if true, but alas....it is not.

Edit add: also found this debunking article from The Hoax Slayer site Has alot more details and evidence regarding this being a hoax. Just an extra FYI.

I absolutely love this Pope.
He gets it, he knows the bible is all allegory, symbolism and fear-mongering.
He's come out and spoken the truth on so many issues.

It's a shame that most followers don't think like him and it's sad that many see him as odd or radical.
He is speaking the truth on many religious issues and he realizes the bible is outdated and mostly nonsense.

Wow.

I'm wiping the sweat off my brow.

If any person was headed for hell it was yours truly.

Don't get me wrong I don't molest children or rape people I don't hurt animals, I don't even hunt.

I will admit to doing things I'm not proud about. Once I, well there was this guy and........nevermind this isn't confession.

Take care.

I presume they kinda realized in today's world is not easy to believe that by digging the ground we gonna finally reach a huge firey chamber with torture devices and tall red demons stirring up boiling cauldrons.

No more Hell, in Middle Age terms.


PS - I used to like it, though

It's not something new, Pope John Paul II said the same pre-millenium, " hell was not a physical place"

Just to add, Pope Francis has talked about good people outside of the church. It was widely interpreted as including atheists.

copy and paste the URL and close the gap

There are no papers covering the Op's particular story.
