This is interesting.

Story in summary:
The pope affirms heaven and hell. About these he says:
' hell is a "state of eternal separation from God", to be understood "symbolically rather than physically".'
so far so good.
Heaven? Nothing from the new guy, but John Paul said:
'"neither an abstraction nor a physical place in the clouds, but that fullness of communion with God, which is the goal of human life".'
I think I'm still with him.
And purgatory?
'"only a theological hypothesis" and not a "definitive truth of the faith".'
Three for three? What am I, Catholic?
