Perhaps echoing the words of communist hippy millionaire, John Lennon (1940-1980), the Pope has said in an interview that Hell is not a physical place, but is instead, a state of mind, an orientation towards life. That is the liberal Christian take on things, a position that does not upset fellow Leftist one-world travellers, who are free to be as atheistic as they like, with no costs. But the Biblical evidence for the existence of Hell is a great as the evidence for the existence of Satan, Prince of Darkness. Biblical passages include: Luke 16:22, Matthew 13:41; 25:46. And, logically, if evil exists in the form of Satan, it is reasonable to posit a dwelling place, a home base, and this is Hell.
This is but another example of the present Pope promoting heresies.
