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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
This will stay with him forever.
I wish I had 1/1000th of the courage this child had
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.
This child needed to hear those words. Pope Francis just eased his broken heart and put his soul at peace. Also, the courage it took for him to even ask such a bold question is commendable. God bless them both!
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."
Paul D Clifford you said exactly what needs to be said here. Thankyou.
Paul D Clifford you said exactly what needs to be said here. Thankyou.
I’m an atheist, but the type of religion pope Francis demonstrates here, is one I can whole-heartedly stand by.
Awwwww. Pope Francis, my atheist heart loves you
Oh Lord Jesus Christ in Heaven please watch over this young child and comfort him. Thank you Jesus for all your blessings and unconditional love!
The man's in a moncler coat talking to the pope. Ultimate flex
It is so impressive that the Pope had to ask for permission from this little boy if He could tell the others who were there present what the little boy had whispered to Him. We can also learn how not to reveal secrets of the others without asking them for permission. Holy Father pray for my country Kenya . I ask for your blessings .May God grant you good health and live to serve All.
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.
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.
Willo munika Kenya is a stupid country!!!🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
God bless this child
My father committed suicide 4 years ago. But according to my religion Islam if anyone commits suicide he will not go to heaven. It’s makes me sad too. Hope god forgive us and my father.
Brought tears to my eyes. He is such a compassionate man, and one of the best religious figures I have seen. I hope we can build bridges between our faiths and communities and appreciate our similarities and respect our differences. A lot of love and respect to pope Francis
Mohamed Azab That is exactly why he is an antichrist
Visual Scriptures stop calling everybody whos beliefs dont line up with yours the Anti-Christ. It only makes christians look bad. I dont agree with everything the pope says but you cant deny he is a very caring and loving man.
GummyBearLincoln By the world's standards yes. And it's not about him and I, it's about him and GOD. That same GOD lives in my mind and my heart because I submit my will to His.
The Holy Father of Rome is a saint walking this earth.
Visual Scriptures, go somewhere else you coward.
I started crying
i dont believe in god but the pope sure does make me happy with his kindness to others
This is heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time the poor little lad
I'm not a person who usually tears up that easily, this made me cry for the first time since a long time. God Bless that child and the pope.
I'm a Presbyterian and not catholic whatsoever but this was amazing! Who else wanted to give the kid a hug
Oh man I'm crying. Pope Francis is so cool. He's the most down to earth Pope of modern time.
Pope is satan,not something else...
Who else is crying along with me when Emanuele started to cry😭
Drink every time you see an, “I’m an atheist but” comment.
Jesus is always great Amen
This is so beautiful. I think we can all learn so much from him. No matter what your beliefs are don’t be afraid of what comes next, trust that something beautiful is coming. Be a good human, do as much good as you can, forgive, love and trust.
This really touched my heart.
Respect to the Pope for focusing on Gods love in his answer. Because this is the truth, that the Love of God cannot be understood by man... and instead of trying to understand it, we should just be thankful to Our Creator. Leave judgment to God, we should just walk in love the best way we can...
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Ephesians 2:8-9
I came here to watch a heart warming video man, maybe I shouldn't have gone down to the comments but like dang y'all, people gotta chill.
He's just tryin to comfort someone. We all do it.
makes me feel strange that i'm an atheist
Kindness and Love is what Papa Francesco's heart defines. This is so touching. As a Muslim I have So much respect and love for him.
Honestly I am agnostic but what Pope Francis said gave me a little sense of hope and faith.
I swear this man is making me go from atheism to Christianity. Much respect
I cried so hard this video cleansed my soul and watered my crops. I'm Methodist, not Catholic, but my dad's side of the family is, and I have so much respect for the Catholic Church and all that they do around the world.
This young man is shouldering so much pain I wish I could carry some of it for him. He is so strong and brave beyond his years. May God bless him and his family for years and years to come.
Immanual means God is with us
Pope Francis is a real human being. He transcends his knowledge and compassion through a book and applies it in everyone's life in ways no religious fanatic has done.
In Syria nearly every child is like that 😭 no child should have to go through that
RIP Papa, from heaven, please guide your son in his life ❤️
+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.
Dammit I'm crying again
What a beautiful language
My heart goes out to that little boy. He made me want to cry. I so hope he felt better after speaking with the Pope. Bless both of them.
God bless that little boy and his family, Lord thank you for holding this little boy and his family in your heart, comfort him, talk to him and support him and protect him and his family all the days of his life, in Jesus name Amen +
I’m a sikh but this was pretty nice
I am Muslim but I respect him🙏🏻
I saw him two years ago in my trip to Rome it was such a happy moment, God bless you all😢❤️
jupiter amv no way, I was in Rome 2 years ago too! What time of the year were you there?
@@FALslayer why would people care? Am i so unsocial that i just cant understand why u asked that? XD
@@user-fz3ip3ke8p yeah i mean the comment didn't mention you in the slightest
Made me cry.. Emanuel means "God is with us" 👍
I broke into tears.
Very touching. The Pope is a kind man.
oh my God,i cried so hard watching this.poor little boy. God bless the Pope,he truly has a heart of gold.
muslim here, but i cried. this act of kindness is everything. I CRIED LITERAL TEARS
Farahin Lapirin what else would come from your eyes?
@@FALslayer eye juice
Not kindness. Just love
Otto Turbo diesel
Beefy Tingle we have no right to judge other religion
I’m not religious, but Pope Francis is one of the coolest dudes on the planet
Im SBNR but the support, comfort and compassion they showed this boy really warmed my heart.
Im an atheist...and i baptised my 2 kids for the sake of my wifes family..after watching that im glad i did...beautiful
Out of fear. How is that beautiful? I find it disturbing.
Ricky Alonso That's not fear that's respect for his wife's religion...if he is seeing through his wife and children the example of what it is like to be a Christian ...that is a beautiful thing..most people who have not yet heard the Word of God first exposure is by our example! We all have different journeys and this man's wife and children may be the way to change his heart! Praise God for these examples of faith!
Scott Murtagh moron. Raise your children with logic and reason and not fairytales or superstition.
how can you say you're an atheist when some of the commandments of the bible you are doing..did you kill? did you commit adultery? did you love your neighbor?..atheist should read the bible or read the life of Jesus Christ. Hell is real,so as heaven. Do not die if you didn't accept Jesus.
Scott Murtagh
Did you dunk or did you sprinkle?
An honorable act of leadership, by this Pope, towards the heart of the brave young boy. "Father, may you hear the heart of this boy, and grant his earthly father mercy even now as you do us still breathing. May you forgive the sins of this boy's father, and grant him into your kingdom. 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." Any of those in agreement reply Amen for the soul of this man past.
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
John 14:6 KJV
This is so adorable. It warmed my heart
I am an atheist, but this man has one of the highest places of respect in my life....
This just made me cry. It reminds me of my last dad who never went to Church but believed there is a God & he tried to be good. I loved him so much & I always pray for him. Though we were not Catholics when he died. It was marriage that brought me to the Catholic Church & am so happy to be a Catholic. Emanuel, God loves your dad & mine and He loves us all. We should always be thankful for that. God bless our Holy Father the Pope. May His mercy, love & favour speak for you, everywhere you go. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
John 3:16-17
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
The answer is right there.
God Bless Pope Francis.
I'm an atheïst, but I believe this pope is a good man with love and compassion in his heart, and for that I salute him. May he change the world a bit for the better 3>
I'm not even Catholic but this is so sweet. Poor boy, I hope he finds comfort.
I’m not catholic, I’m Christian orthodox, but this was a very nice video
That gave me goosebumps....
I keep rewatching this....what a powerful statement of the best in humanity.
Simple loving truth. So glad we have this man now - this is coming from a devout unbeliever btw. I see his kindness as a giant gift to the world. If he can bring truth and reconciliation to the entire church that would be a huge accomplishment
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
"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?
you believe
You should all go to Church at least once, the Lord will bring much more joy to you, give Church a day if you haven’t.
Nubbinz well do you think it would be easy? No
I don’t necessarily believe in this religion but this act of kindness is amazing.
Oh my!! My heart!! He's so broken, in trying to comfort anyone who has lost an unsaved father or mother all I can say is when that day comes we will know for sure, and when we see Christ in his Glory and Majesty every knee will bow and every tear will be dried by his perfect love and wonderfullness!! Be comforted and know you have hope and a future which is in Christ Jesus our Lord!😍😍😍
Pope Francis really restores my faith in humanity
That's like saying gymnastics is a child molestation sport, or that the Boy Scouts are a child molestation organization. Unfortunately, there are child molesters in every walk of life, from the lowest to the highest. I think that when you have child molestation on the mind as much as YOU do, you have to question yourself.
Shut the fuck up Mark Thibodeau. You mentioned molestation FOUR times so you must think about it 4x as much.
Fuck man... :( I didn't expect this.
You said 3 more naughty words though
ROTFLMAO
Corrupted Studios completely! He is a Rock (if you’re Catholic you’ll get it), the type of man who maintains his Vision and Decency to help the others, even when the world seems to fall in madness. He is a example to all of us. May God bless him!
This Pope's wonderful humanity and love is something that transcends whatever you think about the religion he represents. He is a great and good man.
This made me cry
I'm Jewish but converted from Catholicism and still have huge respect for Pope Francis. The Catholic church isn't all bad, despite the horrific actions of a few.
I'm not a religious person...but I believe in working and seeking healing on the spiritual aspect of life...which I fail in often. For me Pope Francis is one man who always touches my heart when I've listened and observed him. A powerful message and moving to witness...thank you.
If it's spiritual life you seek, open your bible!
Ask God to help you as you read, to understand what he is saying to you.
I am from Ireland which is mostly catholic I am reached to believe in the religion at school and a few of my family and a lot of my friends r catholic but I am a atheist but pope Francis is a hero to me
I cried like a baby..
God bless Emanuele.
God bless my Pope.
May this kid be blessed with everything in his life...respect for Pope...what a great message
This is really moving ! This boy is such a good Soul its inspirational ♥️ his father would sure be proud
god bless you all and your familys with happyness and health
Thank you and you too.
I love our Pope. Such a beautiful moment.
Poor lad. So young to have to go through the loss of his Dad. His Father is with him in spirit, always.
That interaction between Pope Francis and this boy will be unforgetable in history. This was so moving and compassionate.
I'm a Ford raptor 2002 and this is heartwarming
I stg if I see one more of these profile pics I’m acc gonna kms
As an athiest, this is what the world needs, fake or not. Morals are lost on all men and there seems to be no other way of getting them back.
@easy deism I am aware, I wouldnt say im so much athiest as agnostic, I believe there is a higher power or "being" or "force" of some sort but I do not think we could fathom or comprehend exactly what it is. I just think there is no possible way for us to know, my point being is that even in the fact that I dont agree with it it did indeed keep people moral for the most part, it has also done as much good as bad. The balance of things I suppose.
I like how this answer was calm but at the same felt immense energy behind it
I wish I could hug the pope ❤️😭😭❤️❤️😍
The pope lies to a little boy on international television, and you want to hug him?
The church is evolving? What is that supposed to mean?
The pope was asked a "Yes or no" question. Instead of answering it himself, he goaded the crowd into lying on his behalf, and then supported the lie.
So yes, he lied.
the Pope is trying to spare this young boy unnecessary heartache. We don't know what his father said to God before he died
Unnecessary heartache? What about when that boy turns to John 3:16, and reads ""For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life."?
True however, we don't know what happened between his father and God in his final days. But that doesn't exclude the fact that the pope lied.
Are you born again?

We cry watching this because Jesus is in our hearts!
A great pope god bless him and a beautiful boy
What great words of comfort to the boy who had just lost his father. Pope Francis has earned the respect of people from
All religions and none.
What a great man. I wept. Beautiful to see this.
Bree Taylor
the pope did a great thing. this is what christianity is about. Being nice people yes it has been changed a lot over time by holy-war and"king-popes" as i call them (medieval popes that were corrupt and power hungry and certainly are rotting in hell with hitler stalin and mao) but being nice is still what christianity is about
I puked
+Roy Wayne
Jesus is far greater and more beautiful. He died for the sins of humanity and rose from the dead in victory. Bergoglio does not represent the teachings of Christ accurately. He makes it up as he goes. He is 'his own man'.
@@jesusislord4135 ....you know a guy that is almost 2000 years dead???? Don't you think for yourself that that sounds a bit strange??
This Pope may have been being nice to a young lad, but surely its clear this young lad knows more about the message of salvation. The Bible is clear, "we must be born again"...that means accepting Jesus as the sole pure and sinless lamb of God, slaughtered for mankind past present and future. To ignore this is to ignore the simple mustard seed tenants of Christianity. Our good works are as dirty rags, says God. If you say you are a Muslim, it is because you believe in Allah, the Prophet and the Quran. Its the same for Christianity, God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit and the Bible.
God Bless Pope Francis! and God Bless Emanuele!
I won't be the first to admit I'm a non believer.
But this is heart warming to see one single man bring help this boy so much with his father's passing.
I'm not a follow of the pope but his power to bring people together and spread wisdom that can be used by all walks of life, regardless of religion is humbling. Helping promote humanity is something he truly has a talent for.
Very Beautifully said Pope Francis. I'm agnostic, and sometimes get attacked by catholics and christian's alike for being "Worse than Atheist." But I still respect people who believe and their religious heads/elders when they make sense and preach love.
Yes the pope did a great thing here since thats what christianity is about being a good person unlike the people attacking you
Agnostics are not "worse than atheists". Many are better than quite a section of atheists.
I am agnostic as well. I lost my brother in December 2016. It's brought up these questions for me that the boy has about his father. I don't know that there is a God. I don't know that there is a heaven or a hell. I do though try, as my brother did, to be a good person and treat others as I'd like to be treated.
It helped me, as an agnostic, to hear this from the Pope.
Why should anyone think agnostics are worse than atheists? Everyone's as good as everyone else, as long as they try to be good people.
Just be a good person and maybe you will be with the good people in the end too. We cant say for sure... There could always be something else after death
God bless the boy.
A very compassionate answer from Pope Francis. As Jesus said, "All things are possible with God".
Can God make a pizza so hot, even he can't touch it without burning his figers?
Prove he is real.. because i believe in the holy spaghett monster
Can you prove the magical spaghetti monster doesn't exist? the Holy Spaghetti Book said that, if you don't believe in the Holy Spaghetti Monster, you'll perish in the Salami Forest Dungeon of Helish Hell FOR ETERNITY!!
(convert to the spaghetti relligion for ETERNAL salvation).
Luved GOD isn't a spaghetti monster. He's simply pure light and energy.
PROVE IT!! GOD IS THE HOLY SPAGHETTI MONSTER, AND HE SHALL MAKE YOU BURN IN THE SALAMI FOREST HELL DUNGEON OF HELL IF YOU DON'T BEG FOR ETERNAL SALVATION (and donate 1/10 of your income to my church, the Holy Spaghetti Church).
Luved Do You Have Instagram?
I am a none believer but every time pope Francis talks I chock. He really spread love, I have so much respect for this man, I wish to meet him or go see him one day.
I’m not religious in anyway but man... this is beautiful!
Don’t know why but this made me weep
Im a Muslim and this teared me up hard, such a nice man, RESPECT!
