Pope: Eternal Damnation "Is Not a Torture Chamber", but Being Eternally Distant from God

AsiaNews ^ | 11/25/16

The Scalfari interview was what first came to my mind, too.

Now he's telling us that Satan doesn't torture the damned.

I see a consistent theme running through this and his other heretical endeavors such as Communion for those in adulterous relationships; an attempt to minimize the consequences of serious sin.

This is what he calls "mercy".

No he was definitely not in the fire.

I assume you were there???

Unlike you, I read the word for understanding.

Hell is unimaginable. But as I told my boyhood Jewish friend (of a half century) after the passing of his father, God will have mercy upon all those who exhibit mercy upon others, as per the Sermon on the Mount. Ph.D. Theology here.

..... Don’t forget with the Word of God says… Those that hurt the children… It would be better than a millstone was placed on their neck and they were thrown into the sea.
