Controversy: The Pope once again raises doubts about hell “it is totally empty”

Pope Francis has shown a favorable attitude towards theological liberalism, perhaps in a subtle way, towards the end of his pontificate. After allowing the possibility of blessing same-sex couples, the bishop gave an interview last Sunday expressing a controversial opinion about hell.

During a conversation on the Italian show Che Tempo Che Fa, the supreme head of the Roman Catholic Church expressed his personal thoughts on the spiritual future of a sector of humanity.

As reported by The Christian Post, Pope Francis stated: “This is not a dogma of faith. What I will say is something personal: I like to think that hell is empty.” He emphasized that his view is not a teaching of the Catholic Church. “It is a wish that I hope will come true, but it is a wish,” he continued.

The bishop shows a liberal tendency, which is very common nowadays. Francis suggests that he supports “universalism,” ‘A theology that says God will save all humans and demons.”

Those who believe in this false doctrine deny the reality of hell, viewing it as a human invention to manipulate the faithful. Their idea of “love” is mistaken since they do not consider repentance of sins, or faith in Jesus Christ as Savior, as requirements for eternal salvation.

The Lord Jesus himself explicitly referred to hell, for example, in Matthew 5:29, when he warned about the serious consequences for those who do not acknowledge their faults and instead promote them. In other words, contrary to what the Pope insinuated, God does not overlook the sins of those who do not repent and earnestly seek change, which should not be confused with a lack of love and compassion from the Creator, who is precisely the reason Jesus suffered on the cross.
