That is a sin of "Grave Matter"

[JRKH]

Well, we know that there is limbo, purgatory and hell. Also, the Church does pray for the dead. But as far as other levels of hell, I’m not exactly sure. I did hear once before that there were levels of “happiness” in hell, and that some are worse off than others… But again, I can’t say for sure.

I don’t believe that Limbo is an actual church teaching…It is not mentioned in the Catechism…

You are right. Limbo of the Fathers ceased after Christ was crucified and went down to the dead and Limbo for Infants has only ever been a theological hypothesis and not Church doctrine.

THANKS for clairifying.

Let’s be careful with what we post as “fact” as many non-catholics read our comments.

Purgatory “may have” ??? have varying levels as one assends closer to the Beatific Vision.

Hell is Eternal and KNOWN to be Eternal, and does not have levels of suffering; but “perhaps” MAY HAVE differnt types of suffering suitable to the issue of ones self choice of damnation.
