[Apologetics] Eugenio Scalfari, age 93, does NOT record sessions OR even take notes of his conversations with Pope Francis

[Dave Armstrong]

Nothing new here for me. I wrote about it two months ago, because Phil
Lawler used this guy as a "source":

Lawler vs. Pope Francis #3: The Pope Annihilated Hell?
<http://www.patheos.com/blogs/davearmstrong/2018/01/lawler-vs-pope-francis-3-the-pope-annihilated-hell.html>

Scalfari has also recently claimed that Pope Francis also denies the
existence of heaven and purgatory. We've known for some time now that his
interviews were recorded merely from memory. Real tin-foil hat stuff . . .

Blessed Good Friday to all.

In Him,

Dave
