Francis ‘abolishes hell’, saying souls of unrepentant sinners will simply disappear
It is been accepted Christian doctrine since the founding of the church, but Pope Francis appears this morning to have abolished Hell.
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.

Frankie must be trying to suave his conscience by denial. Just picture him with his index fingers in his ears saying "La, La, La, La.....there is no hell, there is no hell, there is no hell!"
Or ....

According to the linked article in the Times of London, the story in La Repubblica was written by a 93-year-old atheist who says he "reconstructs the conversations [that he reports on--note inserted by me] from memory, without taking notes or using a recorder." Lets see if the putative pope claims that he was misquoted.

The Vatican has apparently already backtracked:

Sigh. You're right, of course, Dawn Marie. I did notice that the so-called clarification didn't include an outright retraction, and of course these numerous "clarifications" never do. Francis the Talking Mule would make a better pope than Just Call Me Jorge.

Francis has made a statement contrary to our Lord and plain heresy. I have mentioned this many times, but how does the leadership of the SSPX reconcile their rapprochement with Francis and the Curia? This beyond the pale and the Vatican's non statement shows that is the essence of what Francis said to atheist compadre.
