'Three sects take their origin from Valentine. . . The second sect were called Cainites : These venerated as saints all those who the Scripture tells us were damned -- as Cain, Core, the inhabitants of Sodom, and especially Judas Iscariot.'
St. Alphonsus Maria de Liguori, 'History of Heresies'
'Furthermore, no one can deny that it is a virtue to be sorrowful at the time, in the manner, and to the extent which are required. To regulate sorrow in this manner belongs to the virtue of penance. Some conceive a sorrow which bears no proportion to their crimes. Nay, there are some, says Solomon, who are glad when they have done evil. Others, on the contrary, give themselves to such melancholy and grief, as utterly to abandon all hope of salvation. Such, perhaps, was the condition of Cain when he exclaimed: My iniquity is greater than that I may deserve pardon. Such certainly was the condition of Judas, who, repenting, hanged himself, and thus lost soul and body. Penance, therefore, considered as a virtue, assists us in restraining within the bounds of moderation our sense of sorrow.'
Roman Catechism
'If they die the accustomed death of men, and if the plague, wherewith others also are wont to be visited, do visit them, our Lord did not send me: but if our Lord do a new thing, that the earth opening her mouth swallow them down, & all things that pertain to them, and they descend quick into hell, you shall know that they have blasphemed our Lord.
Immediately therefore as he ceased to speak, the earth brake asunder under their feet: and opening her mouth, devoured them with their tabernacles and all their substance. And they went down into hell quick covered with the ground, and perished out of the midst of the multitude.'
Numbers 16:29-33
