    Is this true? Did Pope really say that? Probably, what he meant was if sinners were to repent, they could still go to heaven. All people, in my opinion, for as long as they do good here on Earth, will still be able to go to heaven whatever their religion is.

    This current pope seems to be willing to admit that what the church has always taught might not be true. He teaches that everyone is welcomed into the kingdom of Heaven if they want to be. When I was religious, I believed that same thing, and that's the type of preaching that will actually bring more people into the faith.

    Ооps, sоrry—thаt wаs асtuаlly Pоpе Jоhn Pаul II, bасk in 1981 in Mаnilа. Lеt's sее. Hоld оn а sесоnd. Try this:

    Gоd оur Sаviоr…dеsirеs аll mеn tо bе sаvеd аnd tо соmе tо thе knоwlеdgе оf thе truth. Fоr thеrе is оnе Gоd, аnd thеrе is оnе mеdiаtоr bеtwееn Gоd аnd mеn, thе mаn Сhrist Jеsus, whо gаvе himsеlf аs а rаnsоm fоr аll, thе tеstimоny tо whiсh wаs bоrnе аt thе prоpеr timе. … Fоr thе grасе оf Gоd hаs аppеаrеd fоr thе sаlvаtiоn оf аll mеn.

    Am I missing something. You said they get punished and then graduate to heaven. How is that conflicting with what Pope Francis said?

    This whole thing is a little confusing to me. When it comes to these matters though I think that I am just the kind of person who assumes that he means well and he is not intended to mislead or offend anyone. People play to their roles 99 percent of the time and I would have to think that it is the same for the Pope, so I would not read much into this whole thing.
