Pope Francis Assures Atheists: You Don’t Have To Believe In God To Go To Heaven

Pope Francis

Pope Francis

In comments likely to enhance his progressive reputation, Pope Francis has written a long, open letter to the founder of La Repubblica newspaper, Eugenio Scalfari, stating that non-believers would be forgiven by God if they followed their consciences.

Responding to a list of questions published in the paper by Mr Scalfari, who is not a Roman Catholic, Francis wrote: “You ask me if the God of the Christians forgives those who don’t believe and who don’t seek the faith. I start by saying – and this is the fundamental thing – that God’s mercy has no limits if you go to him with a sincere and contrite heart. The issue for those who do not believe in God is to obey their conscience.

“Sin, even for those who have no faith, exists when people disobey their conscience.”

Robert Mickens, the Vatican correspondent for the Catholic journal The Tablet, said the pontiff’s comments were further evidence of his attempts to shake off the Catholic Church’s fusty image, reinforced by his extremely conservative predecessor Benedict XVI. “Francis is a still a conservative,” said Mr Mickens. “But what this is all about is him seeking to have a more meaningful dialogue with the world.”

In a welcoming response to the letter, Mr Scalfari said the Pope’s comments were “further evidence of his ability and desire to overcome barriers in dialogue with all”.

In July, Francis signalled a more progressive attitude on sexuality, asking: “If someone is gay and is looking for the Lord, who am I to judge him?”

      Question to christians (actually the same can be asked to any religious person). If your religion is the “only right” religion, then how do you explain the existence of all other religions around the world? If you as christians are supposed to follow the bible and believe in god otherwise go to hell, then how is that fair to all of the other people who were born into another religion? There are many people who are born into other religions around the world and have no idea what the word “christian” or “bible” even mean! So basically they are just born to go to hell right? How is that fair? What kind of “god” would allow people to be born into the “wrong” religion without ever even having a chance to follow the “right” religion? It makes no sense to me… This is one of the reasons why I became an atheist (born in a christian family). I believe it is human nature to “create” religions in order to answer questions that we just cannot answer ourselves, and the world is big, which is why there is no one universal religion; this is proof to me that religion is just a big scam.

        September 13, 2013 at 1:26 am

        Kind of difficult to answer all questions but one thing I know is that
        “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners-of whom I am the worst”
        “I was blind but now I can see”
        Being a Christian does not come by physical birth into a Christian family. It does not come by good works. It is a Spiritual birth that God alone is able to effect by His Spirit (Ezekiel 36:25-27, John 3:3-8)
        It is impossible that all religions can be true. There are so many because there is one true one that others are trying to imitate. There is a counterfeit dollar or kwacha because people are trying to imitate the true currency somewhere. So there is genuine religion and it is the one revealed by Almighty GOD through His Son the LORD JESUS CHRIST. Believe in Him alone and you have eternal life and you never be the same again. Refuse to believe and you perish and you will wish one day that you had never been born. As simple as that dear friends.

          Christ is not divided by Christian denominations.

          True believers do not belong to any mans church but to Christ and his words alone.

          1 Corinthians 1:12-17

          New American Standard Bible (NASB)

          12 Now I mean this, that each one of you is saying, “I am of Paul,” and “I of Apollos,” and “I of Cephas,” and “I of Christ.”

          13 Has Christ been divided? Paul was not crucified for you, was he? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?

          14 I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,

          15 so that no one would say you were baptized in my name.

          16 Now I did baptize also the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized any other.

          17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not in cleverness of speech, so that the cross of Christ would not be made void.”

    It is very difficult to love fellow human beings if one follows what is written in so-called books of God. Bible and Koran are offshoot of holy books of one of the most advanced tribe of the middle-east.

    So-called people of the book in their quest to project themselves as of superior race and background started the Abrahamic lineage story and surrounding tribes and followers of the faith plagriarised their customs, culture and thinking and came up with new populist cults; unfortunately they have flourished by leaps and bounds and are the root cause of all the strife in the world.

    Which God, if he does exist, as a supreme father of the universe will rule the world with “carrot and stick policy- heaven and hell concepts”? Only a fallible human being thinks in those terms, vengeance is of Lord kind of statements, if you do not accept Jesus you go to hell, Muhammad is the only Prophet and everybody shall accept him as Prophet and Allah as Lord or else,

    All human beings and especially the Atheist are much better human beings than all those fanatical followers of tribal ways of life stuck in BC and 7th century and refuse to move an inch forward.

    Call all kinds of name to the one who dares to show you the mirror, the one who declines to accept bible as word of god or koran allah inspired.

    We need good human beings and not ‘hell and heaven oriented’ blind followers of tribal practises camouflaged as great religions of the world.

            He is loving and kind and patient. Look at the way fellows have insulted Him even on this blog. Yet these fellows continue to breathe His oxygen, use His energy to execute whatever they are doing, they can freely walk without GOD letting the ground split open and swallow them alive.
            But He is also Holy and just. His justice and holiness dominate him so much that no sin will go unpunished by Him. All un repented sins of men and women will will catch up with them on the day of reckoning. It is surely coming. It is either your sin has been punished in Christ or you face the punishment for your sins in hell for ever

    St. Francis of Assisi would not agree with Pope Francis. Nor would Saint Mary of Agreda, Saint Theresa of Avila, Saint Anthony of Padua, Saint Bernadette, Saint Faustina, St. Patrick, St. Benedict, St. Bridget, St. Gertrude, Saint Ligouri or any one of the Saint Apostles of Jesus Christ, or any one of the thousands of martyrs who welcomed death in preaching the full faith and counsel of God. This man preaches a false Jesus and a religion which has been finally gutted by it enemies, often within the Vatican itself. The disintegration truly began in the late 1700′s, but godly men and women still rose up to pray and fight for the truth, until Vatican II, 1962-1965, which brought in counterfeit sacraments. Careful study of the lives and writings of many devout individuals will take the blinders off, as to what it really means to love God.

      The Popes Palace [Pope from Latin papa, literally "father", Matthew 23:9] is built on Vatican Hill, an old grave yard called a necropolis.

      ‘Vatican Hill’ in english gematria = 666 as does ‘New York’, the home of the United Nations. [Jeremiah 51:42-44] [ a = 6; b = 12; c = 18 and so on]

    “A fool says in heart that there’s no God” Psalm 53:1.

    Salvation is by grace through faith in Christ Jesus. For a person to believe in Christ, he has first and foremost to be convicted and convinced of his sins by the holy spirit. His spiritual eyes opened, he then sees his need for the savior and shouts for help.

    It is at this point that Christ condescends in grace to reach out to this seeking sinner.It is Christ who saves and not man’s conscience. Man’s conscience without Christ is dead.

    Atheists say there’s no God. Their actions deny the existence of God. So their conscience cannot obey God’s law since God to them does not exist.

    The title of this article is misleading. Most of the times the pope is quoted out of context. And of the very famous misquotes is that of Pope Leo XIII: “We hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty” Most journalists are not theologians and so sometimes they misquote the pope. There is a story of a soldier who was an etheist in Germany during the second world war. When the German Army took some prisoners of war he was asked to execute about 50 Jews who were captured from poland. His consciense could not let him do that. God spoke to his cconcsience and instead of executing the Jews he allowed them to escape. He faced a military tribunal where he mentioned that though he was a German soldier he did not regret the action of allowing 50 innocent Jews to escape because killing them out of hatred was an intrinsic evil. He was executed by the military tribunal. Those who were allowed to escape and everyone else believed that God spoke to his conscience and he obeyed that concience and laid his life for following his conscience in doing a good and holy act. Even if he was not aware or did not believe that God spoke to his conscience, the fact still remains that God spoke to his concience and being a good man he obeyed. It is to such that Pope Francis says that “God’s mercy has no limits if you go to him with a sincere and contrite heart. The issue for those who do not believe in God is to obey their conscience.” So the title to this article is quite misleading.

    @ Toka my friend, There is no Catholic teaching which teaches that Mary is our mediator. The Catholic teaching clearly states that we have only one mediator and the is Jesus Christ. Our Mother Mary and other saints are our intercessors and we always ask them to pray for us. I know in your Church (I was a Pente before I became Catholic)you have intercessory prayers. With us even the Church in heaven inercedes for us to Jesus!In case you are not aware read any history of Christianity you will find that out founder is Jesus Christ 2,000 years ago, not some Pastor Pico or Bishop Mudala founding a Church 10 years ago and he is alreaddy a dollar millionaire. Jesus promised that the gates of hell will not prevail against his church and 2,000 years on it is still strong and growing.

    Romans 10:9 That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

    Repent or perish.

      Very correct my brother/sister. Conscience may be sincerely wrong. Some peoples’ consciences are seared as though with hot iron. They as it were also been permeated with sin as every other faculty of man / woman. We need Christ alone and desperately so.

    People of the country Kaya! THe Pope is clear on his stament. People of Good conscience. WE know that Jesus is the way. But We can’t limit God favour on his people. People of Good conscience believer or not. God will never forsake them and after all , most of these so caller Men of God are after their own interest and personal gain. They are putting a lot of people off. May God deliver you and give wisdom!

    We are not to tell who should go heaven nor who to hell, but the gospel should be preached as it is. Remember as we preach the gospel, some will be “bruised”, as situation which makes us slaves of the gospel. We should be ready to die for the gospel if we are true Christians.We are not here to please people whose hearts have been hardened and are not ready to receive it as good news period.

    I think this Pope is misleading people.He has studied the bible and he has preached the word of God. We are all sinners and we have hope through Jesus Christ and the Pope is saying that anyone will be served either a sinner or the one who knows God.

    You are now very wrong and misleading the catholics and the whole world at large.

    Repent and be born again in the name of Jesus Christ.

    I think that God IS cruel and he is all the thing you said though didn’t mean, because you were trying to make a point.

    First, he puts Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden, tell them not to eat from the tree of knowledge while he know perfectly well that, with the help of the serpent which He sent, they’re GOING to eat from that tree, because he didn’t give them stronger will power. THEN HE PUNISHES ALL OF MANKIND for the sins of two people. That IS cruel!! CRUEL is the only thing you can call it!! It just gets “better” from there on. Let’s talk about all the pain and suffering that children suffer from diseases because God didn’t tell us about nutrition which, I know, would keep us a hell-of-a-lot healthier. He never told us not to process or fry foods which, we know, not only destroys nutrients, but even adds a very unhealthy element to the food. He sends people like Hitler, Mussolini, Pol Pot, Mao Tze Tung, Stalin, Caligula, and Nero who throws His faithful Christians to the lions. How many were there? Oh such “love” He has for his creations – NOT!!! Worst of all, we’re forced to be born ignorant so that we get screwed up by a screwed-up society. Some become criminals like Jeffry Dahmer and Charles Manson. Then, of course, there are his “chosen” people. I put the word “chosen” in quotes, because I’m not sure exactly what he chose them for. Did he choose them to be tortured by historical events such as the Spanish Inquisition, Pogroms and the Holocaust? Last, but not least. He created Satan. Yes he did. Since He’s God, he must have known that his Prince Satan was going to rebel and cause so much misery in the world. Maybe they’re one and the same. Maybe he’s bipolar. He certainly isn’t LOVE!!!

      Jehovah God is Supreme God and he does things for his own glory and you cannot question him why he does things the way he does them. He does not need you to be who he is. He is not a democrat; it is either you fit in in his purpose or you perish. If you think what we are going through is misery, wait for his time. Otherwise he is still calling each one of us to fit in in his purpose.

    I believe all churches should be burned to the ground. Religion can be a useful means of giving meaning, understanding and peace to those people (sheep) who either cannot or will not think for themselves.
    We are all capable of searching for and finding understanding, peace and meaning for ourselves.

    God! I didn’t realise this country has so many nonbelievers. Christians have their work cut out for them to convince twisted people like ex-christian above.
    It is imperative for a man of God to embrace all including the so called lost so that they can be lead to the truth.

    Today is Friday the 13th, it is according to the Satanists, their day. That is why they are commenting like that even insulting annointed Men of God. Go to hell all of you. No wonder you drink blood ba kolwe imwe. You will burn in hell and when you ask for water, you will be reminded to drink blood your favourate beverage.

    If hell were factored out of the religious equation would faith remain? Highly doubtful.If prison were not to exist, would outlaws have a field day? Very likely. If God were to excuse sin in this one day – for just day – see how the brethren would rejoice with us at east point, towing ifibanthu with impunity. Also try to fire all the so called ‘****** Buju’ and see how chaos would reign in our communities. The fear of punishment has a big role in deterring individuals from offending/sinning. As for he who does right according to conscience, their behaviour won’t be influenced by the element of deterrence. The conscientious will remain upright whatever the case. Why not open the Heavenly gates to them then?

    The Bible says in Acts 17:30-31 that in times of ignorance God overlooks but when the truth reaches you, its calls for repentance because God will judge us by the light we received. There many good people out there who may not know the truth and am sure the Lord will judge them by the natural law which is their conscience but to all of us who have received the truth our judgement will be different.

    ‘For in the last days there shall arise many in my name, they shall do wonders…if it were possible ..to deceive even the elect.’ Sata used the church to deceive Zedians. Bengolio (Francis) is using the Roman Empire Remnants to deceive the world. ‘He who has knowlegde, let them read what the scripture says…’ Read, read, read again over.
