Hey Pax, remember that time Grandfather Caligula aka Joe Biden was visiting the Vatican and Jorge told him he was a good Catholic? The same Joe Biden who supported wanton infanticide...including the unspeakably ghoulish act of partial birth abortion.
I wonder how many people around the world saw that and thought they had nothing to worry about for killing their child since the pope himself gave his blessing to such a man. Or, thought to themselves it's perfectly ok to vote for the party that sponsors such evil.
I've never read any passage in Scripture, nor heard any saint say that any sinner is beyond God's mercy. However sinful they are.

That's the whole point of the story of Judas....that no matter how sinful one is, if you repent, God will forgive you.
Or do you believe that Judas' sin was unforgivable? His sin was certainly worse than the Jews'. Judas was a priest, who betrayed the Messiah. The Jews rejected the Messiah, but they had fewer graces than Judas.
