ROME—The Vatican felt obliged this week to reaffirm that Pope Francis believes in a central tenet of Catholicism, that there is a hell.
That odd declaration came after the newspaper La Repubblica published a front-page article Thursday by an atheist, left-wing and anticlerical giant of Italian journalism, who reported that during a recent meeting the Pope had said hell did not exist.
Bad souls are “not punished,” the journalist, Eugenio Scalfari, 93, reported the Pope as saying. “A hell doesn’t exist.”
I have to ask, is the Pope losing it? What is this about? Seriously this reminds me of the BO "the cling to their guns" statement. Bazaar. And he was among leftists. So, he is telling it like he really believes it. Where does he think he is going? To Heaven? Really.

Pope Francis is a traitor to the Catholic religion
He is changing the very base of the belief
he has members of his Pontifical Academy that use aborted fetuses for stem cell research, birth control and this really surprised me
Vatican archbishop’s homoerotic mural is a ‘true scandal’ that reaches the pope: US art critic
Mullarkey called the mural an “out-and-proud” display that reveals not only a “creep,” but a much deeper problem within the Vatican under Francis’ pontificate.
Archbishop Paglia commissioned homosexual Argentinean Ricardo Cinalli to paint the cathedral mural in 2007. Covering the entire back wall of the cathedral church of the Diocese of Terni-Narni-Amelia, it depicts Jesus carrying nets to heaven filled with naked and semi-nude homosexuals, transsexuals, prostitutes, and drug dealers, jumbled together in erotic interactions
In the right-hand net, young naked children can be seen entangled with the bodies of older men and women. In another instance, one male can be seen with his hand between another male’s legs groping his reproductive organ. The image of the Savior is painted with the face of a local male hairdresser, and his private parts can be seen through his translucent garb.
Included in one of the nets is Paglia, the then-diocesan bishop. He is depicted wearing his skull cap and clutching another semi-nude man who is tenderly embracing him.
Cinalli told La Repubblica that the naked people in the nets were meant to be “erotic,” although Paglia drew the line when Cinalli proposed to show people actually copulating.
Mullarkey said that Paglia and his mural reveal a much deeper problem happening within the Church under Francis’ watch.
“Ultimately, the core of the issue here is not about a mural at all. Not substantially. Nor is it even about Archbishop Paglia. It is about a degraded Vatican culture which props up a man like Paglia, awarding him authority when he should be handed sackcloth and ashes and packed off to a hermitage.”
After serving as President of the Pontifical Council for the Family, Pope Francis appointed the archbishop last year to head the Pontifical Academy for Life and also made him Grand Chancellor of the St. John Paul II Pontifical Institute for Studies of Marriage and Family https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/vatican-archbishops-x-rated-mural-reveals-an-indiscreet-sex-happy-manp

Thank You for your report, although it is not good news. This is exactly what I have been expecting of him, he has been put in place to do just that, inserting evilness into the church, and to change it's teachings. people will only drift further away and faster. The rest will have their lives and morals changed and when the old Catholics die (which is what they can't wait for) no one will remember how the church was decades ago. This is disgusting news.

When ll the elders have departed, no one will know what happened. They can make up any story to their liking. If citizens don't wake up, it will be a point of no return.
