When I heard that the Pope said there’s no hell

Congrats. You proved there's a hell after all.

Discussion with a reporter for La Republica newspaper that was supposed to be off the record.

Saw first report about it this morning.

Speaking of the pope. Anyone been watching that series on the Pope, on CNN? I saw part of it and set the DVR to record it but haven't watched the episodes that have come out.. But I had questions about the Pope after just watching 10 or so mins of that show.

Its fake news you’re not missing anything.

Here jackass.. Next time provide some substance to your title.

Pope Francis has reportedly overturned millennia of Catholic teaching and said there is no hell for non-believers and sinners - only nothingness.

The comments, reported in Italian newspaper La Repubblica, were made to his long-time friend, atheist philosopher Eugenio Scalfari.

Mr Scalfari regularly meets with the Pope, but doesn't record or transcribe their conversations.

"Hell does not exist - what exists is the disappearance of sinful souls," the Pope said, according to Mr Scalfari.

"They are not punished, those who repent obtain the forgiveness of God and go among the ranks of the souls who contemplate him. But those who do not repent, and therefore cannot be forgiven, disappear. There is no hell - there is the disappearance of sinful souls."

After La Repubblica published Mr Scalfari's claims, the Vatican issued a statement which didn't deny the Pope's alleged comments, but said they should not "be considered as a faithful transcription of the words of the Holy Father".

The Catholic Church has long said hell is real. The Pope just last week warned members of the mafia they'd end up in hell if they didn't give up their lives of crime.
