That's a nice thought. Charitable. Wishing to see hell empty, as in without anyone there.

They only added Hell in the Middle Ages (even the name comes from the Vikings). It’s like when comics make the canon needlessly complicated in later years because they have to keep going no matter what.

I read that as he hoped hell was empty as in you get sent to emptiness. Alone, nothing everywhere, for eternity.
I read that as him saying if there is a hell he should probably be in it because he's done some shit that is deserving of it.
This is way more frightening to me than any other kind of torture.

Naïve. Especially since fascists exist.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: When Allah drowned Fir'awn [Pharaoh of Egypt as he was pursuing Moses and the people of Benny Israel] he said: 'I believe that there is no god except the One that the children of Isra'il believe in.' So Jibrail [The Angel Gabriel] said: 'O Muhammad! If you could only have seen me, while I was taking (the mud) from the sea, and filling his mouth out of fear that the mercy would reach him.'
According to Islam no-one is beyond achieving forgiveness if they sincerely repent as the mercy and forgiveness of God is limitless. However except for explicitly mentioned people such as the Prophets, we do not know who achieves Paradise and who is punished in Hell until the day of judgement. Not even the Angels closest to God know.
No matter what the texts say, it's a pretty safe bet that people who willingly and actively kill or otherwise cause harm to others through their own actions or complacency will end up in a Hell if one exists.
Just like any group of people, there are radicals that don't represent their purported beliefs. Just look at all the "Christians" that preach and practice hate and violence.
Yeah, he really was decent for a pope. And I think he might have been more decent as a pope if he had his way entirely. He really seemed like he wanted more compassion and change than he was able to make happen.
Nobody can't change an institution like the Vatican in a few years, but I guess he tried.
Hopefully the new one will not be a conservative one.
I kind of want the next one to be a traditional African Roman Catholic partly to mix it up a bit, and partly because it fucks with racists.
You just know they will call it a DEI hire
