In his address to Congress, the pope said:
"A just and necessary punishment must never exclude the dimension of hope and the goal of rehabilitation." (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HMoNuWuRqs)
He was talking about the death penalty...but I don't think he realized that he effectively called God unjust. After all, Hell is where God sends the wicked to be punished for all eternity, without hope of redemption ("Abandon all hope, ye who enter here"--Dante). So either the pope lied to Congress or God is evil. Oops!
