Lol I’ve embarrassed myself so much on this thread
 
Next time you want to throw your laptop through the window, remember:

Now that I’ve calmed down, I sincerely apologize for being so obnoxiously rude. I actually regret it.

I should have grabbed a beer before taking it to the internet.

Reading a Canto or two of Il Purgatorio cheers me right up.

Paradiso has a bit of an empty feeling when I think of it. Probably because I need a bit more understanding.
 
As I understand it, the HOPE that all men shall be saved, while also acknowledging that damnation is a real possibility, is not heretical and has been taught by some theologians.
 
I was going to say L’Inferno cheers me up, but didn’t want to be a wise guy…
 
Also, please go back and edit your language.

You, too, Cruciferi. 😠🤣
 
I think this an entirely valid belief. We can all hope and pray for everyone’s salvation while not denying the reality of Hell for the unrepentant.
 
Now I’ll draw you all a picture of pretty U.U. heaven!(Please Note: This uploaded content is no longer available.)

Since you mention it, and perhaps I should keep my mouth shut on this one. Fr.Fortea in his book “Summa Demoniaca” addresses the case. I have thought about it. Those in heaven find their wills so aligned with God himself that they don’t stop loving their family members and yet have perfect acceptance of God’s will. Also, it should be said there are many levels of purgatory, the last of which doesn’t seem to have many torments besides being outside of heaven itself and thus deprived of the beatific vision. To go to hell, it might be fair to say one must really have strived for it.

It is said, that only a few are explicitly condemned to hell by scripture. Among them the infamous false prophet. So, out of prudence, and following with St.Theresa of Avila council, don’t ever wish or ask for that gift. If you find yourself guessing the future, go running to confession and repent.

Also, thinking of hell does us good in reminding the gravity of sin. But there are smoother and more pleasent ways of living a faith full of joy. And constantly pondering on the “vision of hell” for example takes its toll.

Personally I’d recommend some light and pleasent reading (our daily cross can be heavy as it is, and being charitable and merciful is quite a challenge in itself), personally I’d recommend “Gaudete et exultate” by pope Francis. Just of the printing press, and a pleasure to read. I just can’t get enough of this book, and it does present plenty of constructive challenges and brings great joy with it.

God bless.
 
I was told once by a priest that I was too hard on myself and should stop reading The Imitation of Christ. 🙂
 
Well, this thread has been down to 🔥🔥 and back. Our OP has apologized and we have welcomed him back to the craziness that is CAF. 🙃

How about some nice cold lemonade for everyone?? It’s spiked for the grownups. 😉😋
 
Au contraire! Read what our Lord said: “It would be better for him if he had never been born.”

Does that sound like universalism?

God is not going to give His Son so that those who spat in his face would see the Beatific Vision.

He is a jealous God - meaning that He seeks to retain those who are His.

So, in your vision, Hitler will be dining next to Elie Wiesel?

Surreal, bro.
