So some JW who apparently only speaks Spanish decides to share this article, which turns out to be a satire, to a Spanish JW group.

(It would be so awesome if the article wasn't satire and was true... this would be so far out though... so crazy!!) Here's a bit of the article:
"POPE FRANCIS CONDEMNS RACISM AND DECLARES THAT “ALL RELIGIONS ARE TRUE” AT HISTORIC THIRD VATICAN COUNCIL"
The Third Vatican Council concluded today with Pope Francis announcing that Catholicism is now a “modern and reasonable religion, which has undergone evolutionary changes. The time has come to abandon all intolerance. We must recognize that religious truth evolves and changes. Truth is not absolute or set in stone.
“Through humility, soul searching, and prayerful contemplation we have gained a new understanding of certain dogmas. The church no longer believes in a literal hell where people suffer. This doctrine is incompatible with the infinite love of God. God is not a judge but a friend and a lover of humanity. God seeks not to condemn but only to embrace. Like the fable of Adam and Eve, we see hell as a literary device. Hell is merely a metaphor for the isolated soul, which like all souls ultimately will be united in love with God” Pope Francis declared.
In a speech that shocked many, the Pope claimed “All religions are true, because they are true in the hearts of all those who believe in them. What other kind of truth is there? In the past, the church has been harsh on those it deemed morally wrong or sinful. Today, we no longer judge. Like a loving father, we never condemn our children. Our church is big enough for heterosexuals and homosexuals, for the pro-life and the pro-choice! For conservatives and liberals, even communists are welcome and have joined us. We all love and worship the same God.”
The Bible is a beautiful holy book, but like all great and ancient works, some passages are outdated. Some even call for intolerance or judgement. The time has come to see these verses as later interpolations, contrary to the message of love and truth, which otherwise radiates through scripture. In accordance with our new understanding, we will begin to ordain women as cardinals, bishops and priests. In the future, it is my hope that we will have a woman pope one day. Let no door be closed to women that is open to men!”
Anyways, she said this about the article:
Brothers, I want to share with you this super interesting article. You can translate it to Spanish when you go into the site. How horrible! There's no doubt that the end of Babylon the Great is near! What do you think?
Comments were:
I could not stomach so many horrible things, sister! But I am glad I have found the true path...
(Somebody actually tried to tell the sister that it was a hoax)
No, it is not false! You can see the name of the website on the link, including, the topic has been heard in various TV shows here, that this pope is saying that the story of Adam and Eve is a fable. I saw this in an interview in a national channel. And please, inform yourselves before attacking!! Jehovah's people are considerate and loving!
(Then someone translated it)
Thank you sister Didn't Recognize It's A Hoax... may Jehovah bless you!!
xD
Are these people a lost cause??? Wow... simply... Wow
