The Bible says:
"๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐" (Acts 5:29b). I am truly sad that the Pope didn't go to Heaven. If the Bible is true (and I believe it is), then Pope Francis went to Hell forever in his pride and sins. Contrary to the damnable teachings of Roman Catholicism, you cannot get to Heaven via good works, sacraments and faithfulness to the Catholic church. Jesus plainly warned in John 3:3 that except a man be BORN AGAIN, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God.

You get saved by BELIEVING ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST (Acts 16:30-31). This includes receiving Christ's sacrifice on the cross of Calvary 2,000 years ago as full payment for your sins, believing that Jesus was buried, but then after three days physically resurrected from the dead. This is the Gospel (i.e., the Good News) by which all who BELIEVE IT are instantly, irrevocably and permanently saved (Romans 1:16; 1st Corinthians 15:1-6).
