No Hell

[Zoot Allures]

It has been Christian denominations other than the
Catholic church preaching eternal hell fire awaiting those
who did not repent and accept Jesus for a long period.
Protestant Christians were doomed to hell in the eyes
of the Catholic back in the days of Martin Luther. That
view was reformed centuries ago.

I did not know that. I was raised protestant and the church ladies warned me about hell and the saving grace of Jesus when I was three . I assumed Catholicism was conservative on such issues .

No hell, no need to believe in Christ and you can still go to heaven if you are a good person (I assume that means humanitarian). What happens to you if you are evil?

Jesus warns us of hell so where is the source material stating the Pope denies hell?

Hell is closed, since Lucifer is currently residing in the City of Angels, Los Angeles. :yo:

Words of comfort for Catholic Priests who might be worried enough to consider quitting child molesting

I understand people often point out the indiscretions of Catholic Priests, but its worth noting the incidence rate of molestation is far higher with family members like uncles, and others like coaches.

Its not just the priests who should get attention.

More people get shot by people other than cops in the US. however cops are sanctioned to be in a position of trust and authority, as are pedophile priests.

Hell is other people.

Hell is other people's kids.

As are coaches and uncles.....

I'm not defending them, I'm just saying the problem is much larger and we need to look at a larger population.

I read up on it and damned if I can find that page I was looking for. I believe his point was hell is the absence of empathy and compassion. No burning rivers of fire. I think it works, at least to me.

Ps people not using the Oxford comma is also another level of hell on earth.
