That day of wrath,
that dreadful day,
shall heaven and earth in ashes lay,
as David and the Sybil say.

What horror must invade the mind
when the approaching Judge shall find
and sift the deeds of all mankind!

The mighty trumpet's wondrous tone
shall rend each tomb's sepulchral stone
and summon all before the Throne.

Now death and nature with surprise
behold the trembling sinners rise
to meet the Judge's searching eyes.

Then shall with universal dread
the Book of Consciences be read
to judge the lives of all the dead.

For now before the Judge severe
all hidden things must plain appear;
no crime can pass unpunished here.

O what shall I, so guilty plead?
and who for me will intercede?
when even Saints shall comfort need?

O King of dreadful majesty!
grace and mercy You grant free;
as Fount of Kindness, save me!

Recall, dear Jesus, for my sake
you did our suffering nature take
then do not now my soul forsake!

In weariness You sought for me,
and suffering upon the tree!
let not in vain such labor be.

O Judge of justice, hear, I pray,
for pity take my sins away
before the dreadful reckoning day.

You gracious face, O Lord, I seek;
deep shame and grief are on my cheek;
in sighs and tears my sorrows speak.

You Who did Mary's guilt unbind,
and mercy for the robber find,
have filled with hope my anxious mind.

How worthless are my prayers I know,
yet, Lord forbid that I should go
into the fires of endless woe.

Divorced from the accursed band,
o make me with Your sheep to stand,
as child of grace, at Your right Hand.

When the doomed can no more flee
from the fires of misery
with the chosen call me.

Before You, humbled, Lord, I lie,
my heart like ashes, crushed and dry,
assist me when I die.

Full of tears and full of dread
is that day that wakes the dead,
calling all, with solemn blast
to be judged for all their past. Amen.

Lord, have mercy, Jesus blest,
grant them all Your Light and Rest. Amen.

OP, here is a good entry for your blog. Snipped from the book, So High The Price.

THE OPTIMISTS

The optimists object: “Can it be possible that God punishes a momentary sinful pleasure with an eternity of pain?”

It is not only possible, but it is right and just. The offense given by the sinner to God when he transgresses His holy laws involves infinite malice, since it is an offense to infinite Majesty. Therefore, it deserves an infinite punishment. But since man, being finite, is incapable of undergoing punishment that is infinite in intensity, God punishes him with a chastisement infinite in duration. In acting thus, God acts justly.

Consider my son, that if you go to hell, you will never leave it. There, every pain is suffered and suffered forever.

Even when a hundred years have gone by since you went to hell, or a thousand, hell will be just beginning. After a hundred thousand, a hundred million years, after millions of centuries, hell will still be just beginning.

If an angel were to bring news to the damned that God had decided to free them from hell when as many million centuries had passed as there are drops of water in the ocean, leaves on the trees and grains of sand on the earth - if the damned were to hear that, they would be immensely consoled. "True", they would say, "many centuries must yet pass, but some day the time of our freedom will come." In reality, however, such vast stretches of time and more than we can possibly imagine, shall pass and find hell still only beginning.

Every soul damned in hell would be willing to make this agreement with God: "Lord, increase my suffering as much as You will; make me stay here in this place of torment as long as You will, but give me hope that someday You will free me."
But no, this hope, this end to suffering, shall never be.

At least if the poor soul of the damned could deceive himself and cheer himself up by thinking, "Who knows? Perhaps some day God will have pity on me and lift me out of this burning inferno."

No, not even that way is open to him, for he will forever see written before him the sentence of his wretched eternity.

"So", he will say, "all this terrible pain, this fire, will never end for me?"
"No," will come the answer. "No, never."

"Will they last forever?"
"Forever - for all eternity."

Oh, eternity! O bottomless pit! O sea without a shore! O endless tunnel! Who does not tremble at the thought of you!
Accursed sin! What tremendous agony you prepare for those who commit you!

And the king went in to see the guests: and he saw there a man who had not on a wedding garment. [12] And he saith to him: Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? But he was silent. [13] Then the king said to the waiters: Bind his hands and feet, and cast him into the exterior darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. [14] For many are called, but few are chosen.

The site the OP's drivel comes from is called "Against All Heresies and Errors."  Quite frankly, if hell isn't eternal, then all of "Jerome's" writings and the supposed "purpose" of his website is a colossal waste of time.  

If all souls are saved, then truth doesn't matter.  Why expend the energy to make a website "Against All Heresies...", when holders of "heresies" are going to be saved anyway?

"Jerome" is deathly afraid of hell, because his conscience tells him in no uncertain terms that he is on his way there himself.  But rather than amend his life and his beliefs to humbly submit to the Will and the Revelations of God, he fancies himself superior to God, sitting in judgement over and vetoing the Divine Justice, determining for himself good and evil.  

He has created an idol, a god after "his own image and likeness."

The saddest part of all of this is he has the means to infect others with his blasphemy and heresy, giving false hope to the world.

Ok, it all makes sense now.  I took a look at the OP's site, and he has an inordinate preoccupation with topics touching on the sixth and ninth commandment.  

St. Thomas teaches that lust is the vice most opposed to the virtue of Faith.  This man struggles with impurity, but with his newfound doctrine of "universal salvation", he needn't worry about it anymore.
