Pope Francis Consoles A Boy Who Asks If His Non-Believing Father Is In Heaven

May 10, 2018

A nervous little boy asked Pope Francis if his father is in Heaven, even though his father did not believe in God.

"If only we could cry like Emanuele when we have pain in our hearts," Francis replied to the crowd after consoling the boy.

This is a question that many Christian denominations will have different answers to - but this is what Pope Francis told the little boy and the rest of the people in attendance.
