<a bunch of nonsense and this link:
http://www.naijaurban.com/no-hell-fire-adam-eve-not-real-pope-francis-exposes/>
they are claim it is a hoax but the pope said those things they attempt to explain here.
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.

When you perpetuate garbage like this, it really makes it difficult for people to take anything you post seriously.

a picture paints a thousand words

..and exactly what does that have to do with the fact that what Bluelion posted is a bunch of nonsense and garbage?
it enquirers into the validity of "other "similar information .
They clearly post a disclaimer that this site is satire. There is no link or citation to the original comments allegedly made by the Pope. When you perpetuate garbage like this, it really makes it difficult for people to take anything you post seriously.
so stay out of my post.
interesting standing tall ..it fine to stand tall in generalities ..such as against general hearsay and gossip .. i agree
however over the years such things have been said .. ie the book of Genesis being considered allegorical ..
\but where do you stand ?
is mary the mother of god? ,the queen of heaven ?born without sin?lived sinless,taken into heaven bodily (did not die)?has the ability to tell Jesus what to do?
what say you for these are basic "roman" catholic doctrines.

"he gave a cynical laugh"

I have him on ignore so i don't see any of His post, you know something is wrong when you offend a child of God so much he ignores you forever. Just food for thought before you get into it with him.
His name says it all standing tall. God says those who exalt themselves will be humbled.
That picture you posted was the ordination of bishops. The were not laying prostrate to the Pope. The candidate for ordination lies prostrate as a sign of humility and of total self-donation to God.
Another example of perpetuating a falsehood.
laughing out loud ..
and do you know the allegiance they swear ?
do tell ..where is the falsehood..
i said .. a picture paints a thousand words .. was that a falsehood ?
where do you stand ?
