All depends on your definition of hell.' <br /><br />Well, let's hope we don't have all of eternity in which to define it for ourselves.<br /><br />'I think a Jesuit knows his stuff.' <br /><br />Ever heard of Martin Luther? He was an Augustinian, you know.<br /><br />'Only one person walked out, the others followed his reasoning about a totally forgiving God of love and a warning against a too literalist interpretation of the NT.'<br /><br />So the fact that his opinion was welcomed means that it is okay?<br /><br />'The thief on the cross deserved "Hell", probably a murderer,no good works etc. He was promised the opposite! Thanks for your reply.'<br /><br />True. No such promise, however, was given to the other thief who was unrepentant.<br /><br />To the Pharisees Our Lord said, "How can you escape the fires of Hell?!" <br /><br />The Catholic Church believes that Hell exists on a magisterial level. We do not know who is there nor how many souls are there. It is very, very dangerous for a Priest to deny its existence.The Boneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10271719805983763595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389530333077823143.post-62656869003811688472011-02-28T14:55:12.881+00:002011-02-28T14:55:12.881+00:0021 books actually including his biography.

Gerald O'Mahony SJ.<br />He said "THERE IS NO HELL".<br />One person walked out.<br />He has written many books and has been through personal hell which he was happy to talk about. I wondered what the "traddies" thought about this and if you have heard much about him. He was in Wimbledon yesterday. Do you think Tina Beattie went? She certainly boosts your stats! You've got to admit it was gracious of her to respond to your invitation for a beer.
