This Easter I confessed that I had not prayed for my mother RIP as I should because:

1.  She was not Catholic
2.  She practiced witchcraft
3.  On more than one occasion mocked the Holy Eucharist
4.  She manifested no signs of repentance prior to death
5.  We found instruments of witchcraft among her belonging after her death

The priest chastened me to pray often for her soul as we do not know how God may have worked on her while she lay in a coma in the hours prior to her passing.  Also, my family had made sacrifices on her behalf during her life that must have moved His Compassion in some way.

I see how my belief that she was already lost influenced me to not even utter one Hail Mary.  I'm praying for her daily now.

yet some are arguing with those who recognize the incontrovertible facts of the external forum.

  The external forum is a waste of time.  God judges based on the internal forum.  

And when evening was come, the lord of the vineyard saith to his steward: Call the labourers and pay them their hire, beginning from the last even to the first.
⁹ When therefore they were come, that came about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.  ¹⁰ But when the first also came, they thought that they should receive more: and they also received every man a penny.

¹¹ And receiving it they murmured against the master of the house,¹² Saying: These last have worked but one hour, and thou hast made them equal to us, that have borne the burden of the day and the heats.

¹³ But he answering said to one of them: Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst thou not agree with me for a penny? ¹⁴ Take what is thine, and go thy way: I will also give to this last even as to thee.

¹⁵ Or, is it not lawful for me to do what I will? is thy eye evil, because I am good?
¹⁶ So shall the last be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen.
(Matthew 20)

That's only if he repented and converted to Catholicism. That's about a 0.001% probability that he did. You're another fool suffering from Stockholm Syndrome. 

  The external forum is a waste of time.  God judges based on the internal forum. 

Idiot. Is that why Our Lord tells us: without works, Faith is dead? 

If Jorge Borgoglio is in Heaven, then all of the Catholic martyrs shed their blood in vain. Jesus Christ's Sacrifice is in vain. If God allows Borgoglio in Heaven, despite his anti-Catholic pathology thoughout his tenure, then God is a flake or fraud, and I want not be in any of the mansions of God's house after I die. Keep me away from that demented God.

The above is heresy.  You need to check yourself.

Can we just pray he converted, and be done with it.

For all the damage he did, if he DID convert, he will be in purgatory one minute short of eternity....

We could, but this is a very enlightening discussion.  With all of the debate surrounding the watering down of EENS, we now see an eroding of God's mercy, where Trads are hoping/judging a bad catholic to hell.  In their eyes, the 'good thief' was a life-long criminal who deserved his death and did not deserve heaven.  Of course, God had other thoughts.

What many of you Francis-haters need, is to forgive.  We're not supposed to hate our enemies, even the worst enemies of the Church.

Uh, we are to hate the enemies of our Church with fervor. What in the hell are you talking about?

We're supposed to hate their evils but we cannot hate them personally (i.e. wish evils upon them, or wish hell upon them).
