Pope Francis Says: “I Am The Devil”

Fact checked
Pope Francis admits he is the devil

Pope Francis stunned journalists on Saturday when he “joked” that he was the devil during a trip to Lithuania. 

Update: An earlier version of this article stated that the Pope had “acknowledged longstanding rumors of his dark, Satanic leanings.” This was inaccurate and has since been removed. 

The Pontiff was greeting journalists when he stopped to recieve a book about former Pope John Paul II by Polish photographer journalist Grzegorz Galazka.

As Francis received the book from Galazka, he said: “Pope John Paul II was a saint, I am the devil.”

Last year, Francis sent shockwaves through the Catholic Church when he warned that “having a personal relationship with Jesus is dangerous and very harmful.”




Yahoo News reports: Laughing, Galazka immediately corrected him: “No, you are both saints! You are both saints!”

Francis’ quip appeared to acknowledge that he has his detractors, particularly among conservative Catholics who long for the more doctrinaire papacies of John Paul and Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI.

The criticism of Francis by conservatives has grown more vocal recently amid the church’s sex abuse scandals and the distress over his opening to letting divorced and civilly remarried Catholics receive Communion.

  1. Saints know the Devil because it is only they who see the truth about Justice They see it as the Injustice it is They see the opposite side of their coin to everyone else very often , but especially the Holy Martyrs see it The accused witches knew the Devil was real and understood evil and its disguises as does all of the framed Innocents Only when one has powerful legitimate enemies does one understand the Truth. Like Jesus knew the truth .When they are your friend, your either one of them , or they are deceiving you And in the end times the whole world shall be deceived the Bible tells us .[Popularity is their Weapon of Concealment.
