Cardinal Burke, who is a member of the Apostolic Signatura, has publicly lamented Pope Francis' denial of hell and the immortality of the soul as allegedly expressed last week during his interview with Eugenio Scalfari. The Vatican has neither repudiated the "erroneous and even heretical ideas" attributed to Francis, nor has it done anything to reassert the Church's teachings on hell for the sake of Catholics everywhere that have been scandalized by this.
