VATICAN CITY - Pope Francis said Catholics should not allow their views on gay marriage, abortion and contraception to dominate Catholic teachings, but must be more welcoming and not cold, dogmatic bastards.
In a dramatically blunt interview with Carlotta Cathole, the Pope said Catholics have focused on "small things, in small-minded rules". They must find a new balance between upholding rules and demonstrating mercy, "otherwise even the moral edifice of the Church is likely to fall like a house of cards..."
He added that if they don't heed his warning, "They will be excommunicated, smitten by The Almighty and banished to Hell FOREVER!"
