This is what Saint Padre Pio said

About hell: "I believe that not a great number of souls go to hell. God loves us so much. He formed us at his image. God loves us beyond understanding. And it is my belief that when we have passed from the consciousness of the world, when we appear to be dead, God, before He judges us, will give us a chance to see and understand what sin really is. And if we understand it properly, how could we fail to repent
What is the source of this quote? I find it hard to believe that Padre Pio would have taught this, since it’s not Catholic teaching. We simply will not have the chance to repent after death.

It is from a pdf called Padre Pio: timeline, his own words, facts that I got from
caccioppoli.com

The pdf itself is the first link in this search. google.com.au/search?q=padre+pio+timeline+his+own+words+facts&oq=padre+pio+timeline+his+own+words+facts&aqs=chrome…69i57.23844j0j4&client=chrome-mobile&sourceid=chrome-mobile&espv=1&ie=UTF-8

I understand St Padre Pio to be talking of that hour of death , and its agonies of the soul, the final battle we go through. And St Padre Pio believing God allows even the most hardened heart a choice to accept Him, through the final agony of the soul.
I do not believe St Padre Pio was talking about repentence after death. As St Padre Pio was strictly and staunchly Catholic , and upheld the church.

Do you think that website and booklet are in error Father?
 
Tertullian believed going to purgatory meant going to hell except is wasn’t for eternity.
 
I consulted a super smart priest here on this and “Massa Damnata”. He told me with a heavy heart that it was true, as was Nulla Sallus.

I think about this often. I attend a huge parish, and the confessional on Saturdays is almost empty. Maybe two or three of us there waiting. Then on Sundays, the line for Communion is packed out the door. I try not to judge, but the appearance and behavior of some Catholics there both inside and outside of the Church make me question when it is they go to Confession.

In short, yeah, I believe it.

I must admit I didn’t read carefully enough. At first glance the quote seemed to say that there was a moment after death where repentance was possible. That said, we have to remember that any private revelation is only binding upon the one who received it, and others are not bound to believe it. The actually number of people who are saved or damned is not known via public revelation, nor would it be knowable apart from those private revelations dealing with it, which aren’t binding on all the faithful anyway.

Thankyou Father.

It can be difficult for we beginner Laity to sort the good from the nonsense on internet offerings.

I quoted that here as the OP mentioned Saints. I am learning about St Padre Pio atm.
