Regarding the co...Indeed, VSO, a burning question.<br /><br />Regarding the conditions/persons in Hell, I take the motto of Cardinal Newman: "It is wrong to speculate. But it is safe to be alarmed."<br /><br />I confess, however, that my mind will more so turn to the nature of evil as such when such questions are posed.<br /><br />I will think, sometimes, of the report of Stalin on his deathbed, as reported by (if I am correct) his daughter. Just before slipping away, he was shaking his fists at an empty ceiling. Was it defiance against God? Horror at seeing his immanent eternal damnation?<br /><br />Then I will think of St. Augustine, in his Confessions: "I was searching for the nature of evil, but could not find it."<br /><br />It always ends up with me repeating in my mind the words of St. John in Revelation: "...and I wondered a great wonder".<br /><br />Totally dumbfounded, numb, and the only recourse is to go to the foot of the Cross.TH2https://www.blogger.com/profile/02375386482765377541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191489412373415438.post-28933991202562657852009-08-31T22:52:33.614-04:002009-08-31T22:52:33.614-04:00Is it uncharitable to hope that Ted Kennedy is bur...Is it uncharitable to hope that Ted Kennedy is burning in hell if he didn't repent?VSOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400266818545081938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191489412373415438.post-3648495035324110482009-08-29T11:58:00.158-04:002009-08-29T11:58:00.158-04:00ROTFL the thrills!!ROTFL the thrills!!Anita Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11305092097247290243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191489412373415438.post-77997320376930428002009-08-28T11:37:02.172-04:002009-08-28T11:37:02.172-04:00Get 'em Mr. Scampers!Get 'em Mr. Scampers!Fr.

Indeed, my mind always seems to be in the sewer. But I went to Confession last night, and thank Our Lord for that Sacrament.TH2https://www.blogger.com/profile/02375386482765377541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191489412373415438.post-87209722977024956802009-08-28T10:29:50.239-04:002009-08-28T10:29:50.239-04:00Someday I'll die too.

If there are any news releases from my deathbed, I hope it's for proclaiming repentance for my offenses against God Almighty, and NOT a call for my speedy replacement.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03854869025172522554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191489412373415438.post-11680406975571550602009-08-28T02:33:09.042-04:002009-08-28T02:33:09.042-04:00Given the alley cat morals of the Kennedys, père e...Given the alley cat morals of the Kennedys, père et fils, maybe Matthews knows something we don't know. <br /><br />That aside, Mrt.
