“There is no hell where the souls of sinners suffer in eternity”,
Pope Francis was quoted as saying in a Thursday interview with Italian daily La Republica.

Francis said: “after death, the souls of people who repent are pardoned by God and join in his contemplation,
“but those who do not repent, and therefore cannot be pardoned, disappear.”

“Hell does not exist – what exists is the disappearance of sinful souls,” he added.

The pope was interviewed by Eugenio Scalfari, a veteran Italian journalist and atheist who regularly muses about

The person who claimed Francis said this, Eugenio Scalfari, is an interviewer who's known for not taking notes during interviews and thus giving incorrect quotes (he's also really old so one has to wonder about the quality of his memory due to that). In fact, the linked article ITSELF admits this:

"In the past, the veracity of quotes he attributed to the pope has been called into question, especially after the 93-year-old Scalfari admitted to never using a tape recorder during interviews."

There is little reason to give credence to Scalfari's unverified claims, especially as they contradict what Francis has been verified to say elsewhere, where he has affirmed the existence of hell.

Also, this story is from over a year ago, so I don't know why the article is presenting it as if it's something new.

If I say Catholic Church don't read their Bible now someone will attack me abi?

Who this pope epp??

If God does not cast our enemies into eternal Hellfire why would we warship Him?
