This is a very shallow judgement.  James said ; Show your faith by your actions, and that what this man did. He show his faith in Jesus Christ by baptizing his children in the name of Jesus Christ.  In the name of the Father the Son , and the Holy Ghost.  He was not a practising catholic, or maybe a not the best if citizens, does that realy mater. He pass the judgement of faith, the works follows.  Or if he judge for his works while he leaved, some aproval, and some disapproval.  Any way , no one asked the boy why he thinks his father was an unbeilever, no one question his understanding, it sure it may be influenced by the Catholic teaching,   if you are good God likes good people, and if you are bad, The devil takes bad people.  The pope should follow the Catholic tradition and inquiry if the father was baptized Catholic, and tell the boy that they will pray for him , for his sins. Maybe the boy that what he wanted to , ask the pope to pray for his Father. That God will forgive him. It seems that the boy understand better for the pope, looking for forgiveness of sins. An added point of view.  Maybe the pope was right that the father went to Heaven, because of his faith in Jesus Christ,  And not for the pope's point of view. 

It is a bad thing as it sets one up for the deception of satan pretending to be Christ,which the tribilation of satan is all about,not death and destruction like most think!!

Greetings in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Quasar93, I have no doubt that you can find all kinds of teachers, so called theologians, and/or pastors who will tell you what you want to hear. Paul told us this would be the case. 2Ti 4:3  For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
2Ti 4:4  And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. Heaping up false teachers doesn't make what your parroting true. The historical record from Justin Martyr to Charles Spurgeon is the expectation of seeing the Antichrist and suffering great tribulation at his hand. This prosperity gospel escapism that has become entrenched in evangelical churches over the last 100 years will serve to help facilitate the apostasy that Jesus spoke of as happening before His coming. When many "professing Christians" experience persecution and the lying wonders of the false prophet they will be offended and fall away. What will you do when you see the Beast and are asked to take the mark or starve or be beheaded? It is absolutely certain that the last generation of the church will experience the most severe persecution. I was a pre-trib teacher for thirty years and considered myself an expert. I was practically a disciple of Thomas Ice and the Pre-trib Research Center. Then the Lord had mercy on me and showed me that I was reading a flawed eschatological system into the text. Over a period of time, the Lord, with the text of the Holy Scriptures, demolished all the erroneous supports that I had for the pre-trib rapture. I know how hard it was for me to realize I was wrong, so, I'm not expecting any quick movement by any one away from a pre-trib position to the Biblical model that has come to be called pre-wrath. Notwithstanding, if you are in the last generation of the church, you will see the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem and the revelation of the Beast, you will experience the wrath of Satan cast to the earth through the Beast and false prophet, and if you survive to the coming of Christ you will not die physically but be changed and raptured. When it happens know that you were told. It is all in the Holy Scriptures. Rev 12:11  And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. Hallelujah End of the Age Chart PDF.pdf

That's what scripture teaches Revelation 11:15 "And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of Our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever." Flesh and blood can't and won't be in that kingdom I Corinthians 15:50 "Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption." Do tell how ? Take your own advice,I'm good!!!!!!!!

Sure, nothing is objected to when believers stupidly argue for hours about where Cain got his wife; but Whoa, don't dare expose a false Gospel message lest you be accused of being nitpicky, legalistic, unloving and a score of other choice names. But Paul had a different take on that matter... I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. (Gal 1:6-9)
