Pope Francis consoles a boy who asked if his non-believing father is in Heaven

[@romereports]

Pope Francis, the first Latin American Pope. But what did they see in the 76-year-old Jesuit? Who is Jorge Mario Bergoglio? we explained everything in Francis, the people´s Pope click on the link www.romereports.tv/documentaries/videos/francis-the-people-s-pope

[@saturnascension]

I am atheist,but seeing the kindness of this man and the peace he offered the mind of a child brings tears to my eyes.

[@indigorose2607]

What could the pope say? Or any human being with compassion? Why was this boy so scared? Because someone had told him about hell. No child should be this tormented by the fears created by religious dogma.

[@bebos1262]

You're right my man, no child should be tormented that they could be sent to hell. But everyone has their own ways of teaching their faith. We can't just tell them to stop. But me personally as a kid I when told about hell I wasn't really scared or anything I just saw it as a place where bad people where.

[@indigorose2607]

The child was worried that his Dad was in hell, because his dad was a non-believer. He was scared to the core that his dad's soul would be burning in the flames. You don't need much imagination to be scared of that. It terrified me as a child. the nuns told me the devil was watching me all the time, over my left shoulder. It was an awful thing to tell a 6 year old...maybe you would have laughed it off. Sorry, but I think religions that preach fear are destructive.

[@indigorose2607]

But why was the boy so scared? Did someone tell his his dad would burn in hell? No wonder he was terrified. At first, watching this, I thought it was a wonderful thing the Pope did...and it is kindness and altruistic philosophy from the Pope's perspective. But ...what are the alternative answers? The Pope had to say this. Then I thought about why this poor little kid was so terrified to the core. It's the power of fear that so many religions wield.

[@bebos1262]

Hey man I truly am sorry that you were told that by nuns who are supposed to be nice people. Even though it probably doesn't mean anything to you, I'm sorry that you were told that. No child should be told that. And I can understand your way of thinking, I was not told that as a kid so I'm truly sorry that they did that to you. There is no excuse for their methods, but those people do not represent the whole religion believe me on that, but I can understand where you come from.

[@paulotonedef]

Whitney M Especially in youtube comments, i see people behaving like the Pharisees.." He doesn't follow the law!! I fast twice a week and pay tithes on everything I get!!!" But like the Pharisees, have forgotten mercy and love. Galatians 5:22-24 " on the other hand, the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, trustfulness, gentleness, and self control; no law can touch such things as these."

This made me so unbelievably emotional for some reason. At that age we are so dependent of our parents for love and guidance. I just feel for that boy, the constant pain of missing your father in the years you need him most. And we can infer that question is based on him wanting to see his father again and bc he believes in God he hopes that will be heaven. That child is very strong.

We can also learn how not to reveal secrets of the others without asking them for permission. Holy Father pray for my country Kenya .

If history has ever taught us anything, is not to believe in mythology, but to embrace our minds as tools, objectivism as our philosophy and good will and personal values as our compass. Don't pray for your country, but hope for genuinely good and intelligent people to solve your national issues and allow you to create a future for your country and for the entire world.

[@gs7828]

Nathan Wilson Nathan Wilson Who has even talked about history books? I’m talking about the evolutionary steps that the natural world has taken during these past billion years. Read carefully: I’ve written that this journey many organisms and objects have taken part in leads, as the only solution in order to change one’s situation, to embrace our intellectual capabilities, to fully use our minds, in a materialistic optic, focusing firstly on what’s real in order to built our society, our world and our future. I’ve never stated that it is the only philosophy existing among humans today, nor that it is the only one adopted. Goofy comment? What, you oppose the idea of embracing one’s mind as a tool in 2018? Objectivism doesn’t exist? Never heard of science and realism? We need to 1) think, objectively observing the world and ourselves; 2) base moral values on the basis of their effects, in an utilitarian manner: without dogmas, without mysteries, without any mythological elements involved.

[@snuggles03]

RIP Papa, from heaven, please guide your son in his life ❤️

[@jesusislord4135]

+snuggles03 1. There is no known evidence that the father is in heaven, for that would have depended on his late repentance. (One can only hope that he did repent, but the matter is settled now, one way or another.) 2. There is no known evidence that ANY human guides or manipulates the behavior of other humans from the hereafter. The notion sounds pagan. And we are NOT to attempt communication with the dead! Witchcraft and mediumship are FORBIDDEN. So you shouldn't write a 'prayer request' to a dead person whose whereabouts are unknown! As I understand it, even Christ Himself has sent the Holy Spirit to do His work on earth until He returns.

[@Dan-hi2uc]

LetsBeClear couldn’t agree more, if Christianity was more like this I’d probably be a believer if there is a god he wouldn’t judge those who didn’t believe in them he would welcome them and teach them. This Pope is such a gift

[@xbbt7770]

"If he can bring truth and reconciliation to the entire church" I see you're unaware that the pope lied to this little boy. Jesus said "there is none good but one, that is, God."; what's that little boy gonna think when he turns to that page? Toddy 2111 "if there is a god he wouldn’t judge those who didn’t believe" So, does Hitler get a free pass, then? Sure, he said he was Christian - before he committed genocide. Trump said he was Christian, but you've heard the things that come out of his mouth. If God didn't judge people and just let everyone into Heaven, what did Jesus ever take up the cross for? Surely, if God's not gonna bother judging anyone, Jesus' sacrifice was a massive injustice, and all the people who've done unspeakable things in this life are just gonna get off scot-free, right?

[@AlphaOmegaProductions]

Then my question is what was the whole purpose of sending down Jesus to die on the cross for the sin of the world? If good ppl go to heaven, what are the line for someone to be called a good or a bad person, the 10 commandments? A person may be "a good person" in your eyes, but who are the judge? Good people still sin, bad people sin, bad christians sin and good christians sin. Everybody has broken the 10 commandments. You don't have to teach a child to lie or steal for the first time this is in our nature since the fall of mankind. The difference is that you need to receive and believe in the parachute that are given to you as a free gift of God. The Parachute is Jesus Christ, We are all sinners but Jesus Payed our fine to the judge, by accepting his offer we will go to heaven and not hell. If You Are a so called "bad christian" you have probably not understood the whole message of Jesus, not only should you believe in Jesus but the holy spirit will transform you to be christlike.

I ask for mercy, and grace, on his behalf right now. I ask this as my heart pleads to You, in the name of Jesus my savior. Hear my prayer oh God, and my it be so. My faith is in You. Amen."
