Religion / Re: BREAKING NEWS: There Is No Hell Fire; Adam & Eve Not Real ––– Pope Francis Expos by Michelyr3(m): 8:59pm On Jan 05, 2014
Gbemmyxal: Tis a hoax. Check this out...
Some Internet sites are reporting that Pope Francis has declared that “all religions are true,” that there is no hell, and other provocative things.

But the whole thing is an Internet hoax.

Here are 5 things to know and share . . .

1) What is being attributed to Pope Francis?

Among other things, he is claimed to have said:

“Through humility, soul searching, and prayerful contemplation we have gained a new understanding of certain dogmas.The church no longer believes in a literal hell where people suffer.This doctrine is incompatible with the infinite love of God. God is not a judge but a friend and a lover of humanity. God seeks not to condemn but only to embrace.Like the fable of Adam and Eve, we see hell as a literary device. Hell is merely a metaphor for the isolated soul, which like all souls ultimately will be united in love with God” Pope Francis declared.

In a speech that shocked many, the Pope claimed “All religions are true,because they are true in the hearts of all those who believe in them. What other kind of truth is there? In the past, the church has been harsh on those it deemed morally wrong or sinful. Today, we no longer judge. Like a loving father, we never condemn our children.Our church is big enough for heterosexuals and homosexuals, for the pro-life and the pro-choice! For conservatives and liberals, even communists are welcome and have joined us. We all love and worship the same God.
2) Where did the hoax come from?

It originally appeared on a blog called Diversity Chronicle.

The post that contains it apparently was written by the site’s creator, Erik Thorson.

Subsequently, the story has been recycled elsewhere on the Internet, such as in the “ Entertainment” section of VacancyNigerians.com.

3) How do we know it’s a hoax?

Through several means. One is the fact that the piece itself claims Pope Francis was speaking at the conclusion of the Third Vatican Council:

For the last six months, Catholic cardinals, bishops and theologians have been deliberating in Vatican City, discussing the future of the church and redefining long-held Catholic doctrines and dogmas. The Third Vatican Council, is undoubtedly the largest and most important since the Second Vatican Council was concluded in 1962. Pope Francis convened the new council to “finally finish the work of the Second Vatican Council.” While some traditionalists and conservative reactionaries on the far right have decried these efforts, they have delighted progressives around the world.

The Third Vatican Council concluded today with Pope Francis announcing that Catholicism is now a “modern and reasonable religion, which has undergone evolutionary changes.

Of course, there has been no Third Vatican Council.

If there had been, it would have been all over the news for months, and every semi-informed Catholic would be aware of it.

Ecumenical councils are huge events in the life of the Church, and modern media and the Catholic Internet would have focused on it intensively.

4) How else do we know it’s a hoax?

The site which originated it contains a disclaimer, which states:

The original content on this blog is largely satirical.

“I ceased in the year 1764 to believe that one can convince one’s opponents with arguments printed in books. It is not to do that, therefore, thatI have taken up my pen, but merely so as to annoy them,and to bestow strength and courage on those on our own side, and to make it known to the others that they have not convinced us.” – Georg Christoph Lichtenberg.

It is in the spirit of the above quote that I write. Who am I you may ask? My name is Erik Thorson. I created this blog for my own personal amusement.

5) Are there other resources exposing this hoax?

Sure. For example, there is also a Snopes page on this subject.

Wats is dis one saying?? Mtchewww, semi cathloic indeed,stay dia, no go source for information, wait make ur grandMa come tell u abt it!!!!

BREAKING NEWS: There Is No Hell Fire; Adam & Eve Not Real ––– Pope Francis Exposes

One man who is out to open many old "secrets" in the Catholic church is Pope Francis. Some of the beliefs that are held in the church but contrary to the loving nature of God are now being set aside by the Pope who was recently name The Man of The Year by TIME Magazine.

 In his latest revelations, Pope Francis said:

"Through humility, soul searching, and prayerful contemplation we have gained a new understanding of certain dogmas. The church no longer believes in a literal hell where people suffer. This doctrine is incompatible with the infinite love of God. God is not a judge but a friend and a lover of humanity. God seeks not to condemn but only to embrace. Like the fable of Adam and Eve, we see hell as a literary device. Hell is merely a metaphor for the isolated soul, which like all souls ultimately will be united in love with God.” 

In a shocking speech that is reverberating across the world, Pope Francis declared that:

“All religions are true, because they are true in the hearts of all those who believe in them. What other kind of truth is there? In the past, the church has been harsh on those it deemed morally wrong or sinful. Today, we no longer judge. Like a loving father, we never condemn our children. Our church is big enough for heterosexuals and homosexuals, for the pro-life and the pro-choice! For conservatives and liberals, even communists are welcome and have joined us. We all love and worship the same God.”

In the last six months, Catholic cardinals, bishops and theologians have been deliberating in the Vatican City, in discussing the future of the church and redefining long-held Catholic doctrines and dogmas. The Third Vatican Council, is the largest and most important since the Second Vatican Council was concluded in 1962.


Pope Francis convened the new council to “finally finish the work of the Second Vatican Council.” 

The Third Vatican Council concluded with Pope Francis announcing that...
Catholicism is now a “modern and reasonable religion, which has undergone evolutionary changes. The time has come to abandon all intolerance. We must recognize that religious truth evolves and changes. Truth is not absolute or set in stone. Even atheists acknowledge the divine. Through acts of love and charity the atheist acknowledges God as well, and redeems his own soul, becoming an active participant in the redemption of humanity.”
One statement in the Pope’s speech has sent traditionalists into a fit of confusion and hysteria...

“God is changing and evolving as we are, For God lives in us and in our hearts. When we spread love and kindness in the world, we touch our own divinity and recognize it. The Bible is a beautiful holy book, but like all great and ancient works, some passages are outdated. Some even call for intolerance or judgement. The time has come to see these verses as later interpolations, contrary to the message of love and truth, which otherwise radiates through scripture. In accordance with our new understanding, we will begin to ordain women as cardinals, bishops and priests. In the future, it is my hope that we will have a woman pope one day. Let no door be closed to women that is open to men!”

A few cardinals in the Catholic church are against Pope Francis' latest declarations. Watch out for the report.

Thebrightest: People believe that i like not to say what i did not want to not say i said, because saying what was not said i say, may not have a say in what i did not say i won't say. This made me say that, not saying what people didn't say was not said by people, have no way of not really making me not to say the things not said.
So, in other words, i don't like saying what many did not say i didn't say i said, without not saying the said reason it wouldn't have not been said.
ANYWAY NICE STATUS.

chucky234: Bias rating, no Nigeria player deserves 6 let alone 7 because the Ethiopians outplayed the Eagles throughout the entire duration of the match,the timing of their runs and passes were accurate.
Igiebor,Emenike and Enyeama scored 5 while the rest fared below 5, Mikel could only manage a single pass in 90mins yet rated 6.
Certainly SE worst performance since Keshi was appointed coach,we won yes but we were lucky.
WTF are u saying? We r lucky to hit d post/bar? We r lucky to score a 25m outside d box shot? We r lucky to b scored a controversial goal?
Wat do u call luck in your village Mr? They run d field like d antelope dat dey are called and we showed determination and focus as d eagle we r to reach d top even though d altitude of d place is terrible, i dnt kw if u really watch d match to see wen d antelope run if of d field to drink water. GO GET A LIFE MAN.
