'There is no Hell' -Pope

[God_Above]

Scalfari says to the Pope, "Your Holiness, in our previous meeting you told me that our species will disappear in a certain moment and that God, still out of his creative force, will create new species. You have never spoken to me about the souls who died in sin and will go to hell to suffer it for eternity. You have however spoken to me of good souls, admitted to the contemplation of God. But what about bad souls? Where are they punished?"

Pope Francis says, "They are not punished, those who repent obtain the forgiveness of God and enter the rank of souls who contemplate him, but those who do not repent and cannot therefore be forgiven disappear. There is no hell, there is the disappearance of sinful souls."

Oh, he's going to hell now!

 

[BobaFetaCheese]

It's a somewhat common belief that hell isn't a place of punishment but nonexistence and forever being away from the Word of God. I'm not Catholic but I don't think it's their belief and I can see the Pope maybe pissing off some people here.

Hell became a religious catch22 when everyone realized it was filled with dead catholic priests.

He's doing a great job so far. The Devil doesn't like people coming into his little campfire unannounced. There's copyright violations.

Also, I'm a Templar Knight. Once removed. Or is it twice?

 

[Saint_Ann]

Heaven just got a hell of a lot more crowded.

Alan: There's a special place in Hell reserved for you!
Charlie: Good. I wouldn't want to have to wait in line.

I have a few books about hells. There were and are many varied hells, y'know, scattered around the cosmos by various peoples. Try Zuñi hell.
