.....SOULS OF UNREPENTANT SINNERS WILL SIMPLY DISAPPEAR
>In a move that will enrage conservative Catholics, the Pontiff told La Repubblica that the souls of unrepentant sinners were not punished in the afterlife, but simply disappeared.
>“Hell doesn’t exist, the disappearance of the souls of sinners exists,” he told Eugenio Scalfari, a 93-year-old atheist philosopher, during a conversation in the Vatican.
"There is no more hell, goy! No need to be Christian anymore!"

>whoever believes in me shall not perish but have eternal life >not perish the pope is right.
Jaxon Lewis
Pretty sure there's reference to lakes of fire with wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Xavier Barnes
It never existed. Christianity, especially Catholicism, is one of the dumbest and most illogical religions to ever exist. All the Abrahamic religions are retarded
John Taylor
>what is the Harrowing of Hell
Joseph Lee
One of the greatest Pope's we have ever had. Relgion is still going away though as we grow out of it over time. It's mostly for children now.
Evan Jenkins
kys faggot, go pray to Odin
Owen Jenkins
lmao the Vatican is going to own planets in the future dipshit
Ethan Roberts
What does it take to get him excommunicated? How can he just get away with heresy like this? Isn't there a thing where a heretical pope ceases to be pope?
Michael Rodriguez
The pope has no authority because he is a tool of satan
This means that killing a bunch of people and then offing yourself or just offing yourself without killing a bunch of people is the exact same thing, blank, black, empty, nothingness, forever. Why not go for a high score? Who cares? No deity, no morality, no meaning, it doesn't matter. The atheists are right, having millions of people in confined locations believing in nothing is much healthier than a wholesome moral hierarchy aiming toward humility, which happens to revolve around folksy superstition.
Joseph Perry
>what is “where the worm dieth not and the fire is not quenched” Retard
Dylan Butler
>Heresy >Catholic Church Hate to break it to you but these are not strange bedfellows because the Catholic Church itself is heretical by design
Cooper Collins
Hell was always just a concept used to control people's terrestrial actions, fire and brimstone were never associated with hell until very recently in human history. Hell is more like earth but instead of God passively ignoring you here on earth, he is actively ignoring you for all of eternity while you hang out with the rest of the inhabitants of hell. At least that's how I view it.

Where? Find the quote in the Bible if you can, I'm legit curious. I was always under the assumption that Hell is a pagan tradition that moved into Christianity.
It's true tho. You're all already in Hell. There's nothing more but the abyss.
Zachary Gomez
>16: For God so lovedthe world that he gavehis one and only Son,that whoever believesin him shall not perish but have eternal life. >17: For God did not send his Son into the worldto condemn the world, but to save the world through him. >18: Whoever believes in him is not condemned,but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. >19: This is the verdict: Lighthas come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. >20Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. >21But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.
Hell is a metaphor. The Bible speaks of wrath and damnation, but into what? A man's state of depression, anxiety, sadism, hatred, all of those are exemplified in hell.
Kayden Campbell
Okay, so... anybody thinking this might actually encourage suicide? Most people who kill themselves just want to "disappear." If you're Christian and suddenly there's no pit of fire to burn in, but you now have the possibility of DELETING YOUR SOUL... think they'd be more willing to do it? I don't think the Pope is being very responsible here.
Literal heresy, what the fuck? Anyone have a direct quote to confirm?
Zachary Cox
So where the fuck will the Devil be banished to in the End Times, you fucking argentinian nigger? Or what the fuck is Hades, which is constantly popping up in the NT when we talk about the sinner's due? Jesus Christ, give me strength, because we've got a pope who thinks he's more intelligent than the Church Fathers and twenty-one Oecumenical Councils.
Ryan Ward
. . . This guy is a complete fucking fraud. If you're Catholic, you need to send him hate mail on a daily basis.
Adrian Campbell
Catholicism IS heresy and always has been
Kayden Phillips
So did Jesus cease to exist for three days before the resurrection?
Jaxon Sullivan
but that's what the bible actually says. Old testament too.
Brayden Torres
Even tho I dislike popes or christianity in general you gotta sorta understand that the Popes also take the role of an Emperor. It's the continuation of Rome after all. So you can't really blame them much for acting like assess because it's ironically their "right".
hades is the greek underworld its nothing, hell is for satan and his angels it is not for humans and hell will be done away after the judgment
Christian Wright
Cardinal Sarah?
Christopher Robinson
hell is on earth lucifer and his army of fallen angles rules the world the only way to redeem your soul is following Jesus be a God's warrior FIGHT LUCIFER AND PROVE TO GOD THAT YOU ARE READY TO COME BACK HOME
You guys need to physically remove this dude. He's shitting all over your beliefs. t. Nonreligousfag
Joshua Peterson
>Logical >Catholic Choose one
Lucas Martin
He's right though. Orthodox theologians had this down for a long ass time, it's only dumb mutts in America that keep promoting that bullshit.
Jacob Diaz
>the only way to redeem your soul is following Jesus You mean that same Jesus they conjured up to keep people in a perpetual messiah complex?
What proof do you have that the Jesus in the Bible is actually the real Jesus? In fact Jesus is the anglinized Yeshua which is short for the meaning of "May His Name Be Forgotten"
How can you worship or know about someone that's been erased from history?
Bentley Mitchell
>inb4 Argentinians are white
Matthew Clark
What in the hell am I looking at here?
Jaxson Ramirez
an average catholic.
Caleb Sanchez
90% of the Reformers also held this view, since the scriptures are so clear
Benjamin Clark
Doesn't have to. What part of that can't you morons understand? Not really defending him or anything but seriously. You asked for this. It's all the black and white, clear as crystal.
Cooper Fisher
...
Carson King
bullshit. He might even move closer to orthodoxy with that, they believe hell is simply the weight of your own sins in the face of god you cannot bear.
>One of the greatest Pope's we have ever had >''Refugees are warriors of hope'' >just ignore all the rape and terrorist attacks lmao xDDD he should hang for treason.
Christopher Barnes
Catholic art. It's apparently supposed to be Jesus emerging from nuclear fire. It also rests in a snake head shaped building right between two fangs where the pope sits.
>there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth so you’re saying hell is a shareholders meeting? sounds like mine
Ryan Morales
>God will kill millions of innocent people to punish all of mankind for the sins of men >God will simply disappear the souls of terrible sinners instead of punishing them
I'm Christian but I don't believe in no damn pope.
Well why not? It's "God" after all? It can do whatever it wants? You're not a christian
Dominic Ward
That still says nothing about a eternal torture in hell , there will be weeping when people get cast out and destroyed . the gift is eternal life or else it would be like you never existed
Jaxson Wood
So then all those people with near death experience who experience hell are they lying?
Chase Bailey
> all the non-christians/heretics/apostates itt may god have mercy on you.
When you die, you achieve "enlightenment" and become energy with god-like power so complex that the mortal worlds and the life you had on earth is simply an irrelevant moment in time in your infinite years of existence. 2,000 years later you will be crammed back into a body on Earth, and the effect of this causes loss of abilities and memory. The only way to escape the circle is to achieve enlightenment while you are still alive, and nobody knows how to do this since everyone that achieved it has moved on from the mortal universe.
Earth is hell, a prison for you for eternity. You will live countless lives, never knowing your purpose is to achieve enlightenment. Only through a natural "good" path can you obtain it. Old books are about as good as it gets for advice on reaching the goal.
The current crisis of Earth is the "anti-christ". An evil "spirit" that has fallen from "Heaven" and lives on Earth in a partly corporial form. He is imprisoned in antartica far under the ice with only a few hundred elites knowing of his existence, and those elites control the world. Their goal is to overpopulate the mortal realm until we bleed into the realm of the enlightened. They wish to destroy history and the thought of enlightenment. They will eventually be successful, leading to the apocalypse.
But this is Jow Forums lol
Cameron Jones
Is this pope starting to get soft in the head? Wtf
Isaiah Hill
why they try to remove him from history? idk if you are a shill or an atheist
why should i trust gods mercy when he grants the same mercy to literal child rapists and murders? all sin is created equal right? fucking bullshit to keep the goyim under control, thats all it is.
The pope has no authority to do that. Which is exactly why we know hes a false pope.
Camden Diaz
No, they're not. Whatever constitutes Hell is ever changing. Dante recorded the late medieval view of it in his Divine Comedy, today it's viewed a bit differently and at the start of Christendom the worst Hell imaginable was being on the wrong end of the Apocalypse itself.
If your worst fear, your deepest agony is to die, being on the very precipice of it is Hell. That's why so many people who return from a near-death experience turn devoutly Christian. Life became Heaven, for they survived Hell.
Zachary Martin
Those were just visions of detroit
Michael Richardson
> are people who say they seen hell lying?? Yes dear. Just as those who claim to have met the tooth fairy. Sorry to disappoint
Sebastian Davis
Hell doesn't exist though, at least not in the traditional sense. True hell is the purposeful rejection of God's love and grace for all eternity. Some user said it before, but it's the switch for passive to active ignoring on God's part. The whole fire brimstone thing was because a good deal of people don't have the wherewithal to grasp just how horrible it would be.
Evan Jackson
what the fuck
I've been worshipping satan all these years for nothing?
that does it, I'm leaving judaism
Mason Taylor
>> Scalfari, a self-proclaimed atheist, is the founder and former editor of Italian leftist newspaper La Repubblica. In an article published on the site March 29, Scalfari claims that Pope Francis told him, “hell doesn’t exist, the disappearance of the souls of sinners exists.”
>> Scalfari’s fifth meeting with Pope Francis, it is not the first time he has misrepresented the Pope’s words following a private audience
Why not? The pharesees already despised him, so why not just tailor a new religion for the Roman empire out of his carcass? Invert his teachings and all. It's the best way to demean an enemy.
Connor Carter
How would you know how life is beyond this universe ?
Charles Rivera
Well disappearing forever still seems worse than going to heaven for eternity.
Luke Kelly
22 “The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24 So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.’ Parable of the Rich man and Lazarus
