“A reading and deep reflection of the book Eternal Hell by Fr. Chazal has the power to enlighten minds and
transform souls with the same holy efficacy of an Ignatian Retreat. Yes, it contains that much worldly detoxification
and spiritual rejuvenation, i.e., that many life-altering gems of Catholic truth, within its pages. It’s a spiritual
masterpiece we would want to place in the hands of as many Catholics and Christians that we can reach – especially
those nearest and dearest to us. There is no greater or more urgent work of mercy than to help redirect as many souls
as we are able away from Hell and towards Heaven, with this potent new missionary tool.” –
Hugh Akins, PublisherSelect Excerpts from Eternal Hellby Fr. Francois Chazal, MCSPX“It is appointed for all men to die once, and after this, the judgement” (Heb. 9:27)… “By what man has sinned, so shall he be
punished” (Wis. 11:17)… “He will come in love to the good, and in terror to the wicked,” says St. Augustine.
Very few Christians are saved, because they are very few who sincerely renounce the world… Among so many people who profess
the Christian faith, one finds only a few with a true faith, and who are found worthy of beatitude… The man who had more
knowledge in his lifetime suffers more severely [in the hereafter] than the one who knew less. If one has sinned through malice, he
suffers more cruelly than if it had been through weakness. But nobody suffers more than he has deserved.
Catholics suffer a lot more in Hell than non-Catholics [to whom the greater grace is offered, the greater the torment to those who
reject – or who fail to live according to – that greater grace]…
Despite the small number of the elect, the Church teaches that there is a secure foundation of hope for any sinner to be saved if he
so wants, because “God wills all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of truth.”
Salvation…is conditioned by our service to God. This service consists in good works, which in turn are conditioned by the grace to
perform them, which grace is obtained by prayer. “When the Son of Man shall return, He shall give to every man according to His
works.”
“The Devil is coming down on you with a great wrath, because he knows he has little time left” (Apooc. 12:12)…The problem is that
if you do not resist now, the Devil gains ground and further erodes your resistance.
The Devil did not create Hell, even if Hell was created for him, but something he did create are the Gates of Hell… The latest gate of
Hell, Vatican II, was long in the making, and enjoyed at least two centuries of preparation (read the decrees of Pistoia, the
“Profession de foi” of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and the docuмents of the “Alta Vendita” Masonic Lodge and The Protocols of the
Learned Elders of Zion).
For my [
Fr. Chazal] part, being a priest for 25 years, all the people I’ve seen dying so far, died like they lived. When I told the relatives what a beautiful death this man had, they always replied to me, “indeed, Father, he was a very good man, he loved Our Lord and Our Lady.” But when a man has been indifferent all his life [mediocre in faith and devotion, materialistic and worldly, devoid of sufficient good
works], whenever I told him to get ready and have contrition for the sins of his life, it was like he did not know what I was talking
about.
“If you do not work ardently at your salvation, if you do not do more than the common of men, you will not receive everlasting
reward” – St. Thomas Villanueva
“I do not believe that many priests are saved; I believe the contrary, that the number of those who are damned is greater” – St. John
Chrysostom
In her last confidence with Fr. Fuentes…Lucy of Fatima describes that the only thing the Devil cares about is the loss of souls, and
that his final battle is against consecrated souls, so that the way is then free for the perdition of a defenseless people.
With Vatican II, hundreds of thousands of priests left the priesthood, but even more of them rotted, losing the sense of their
mission… The problem for us clerics is that, if Hell is real, we have to get to work and consider our entire life, day after day, as a
rescue mission of souls in imminent peril of eternal death… Popular parlance has it that “Hell is paved with the skull of bishops,”
because of their responsibility in the damnation of so many others.
The problem with easy preachers [neglectful of preaching as if they were ordained emissaries of the Church Militant] is that the Cure
d’ Ars is the model of parish priests, especially in his sermons. The Church doesn’t want beautiful sermons; she wants sermons to
the point of eternal life and death: sin, justice, judgement, good and evil exactly as Our Lord indicated.
Sinful priests are worse than heretics, says St. Bernard; they put sin in a high place… “Such priests are not My priests, but they are
real traitors” (Rev. 1:47)… St. Vincent Ferrer admonishes: Theirs [sacrilegious priests] is “a greater sin than throwing the Blessed
Sacrament in a sewer.”
In order to lure souls into Hell, what better way than to take on God’s Justice which is the cause of Hell’s existence, and Divine
Mercy, which is what prevents souls from going to Hell… Modern man, and the Novus Ordo Church by extension, sweeps Divine
Justice under the carpet, only to keep and misrepresent Divine Mercy as something that excludes the damnation of any man. Thus,
people are encouraged to stay exactly as they are; sins have no consequences since there will always be a God to forgive them… The
Divine Mercy of Sr. Faustina has become a mainstay of Novus Ordo devotions…and fits perfectly the [deadly] false theory of
“universal salvation.”
As Divine Mercy is God’s highest attribute, Lucifer is very eager to deform it, separate it from Justice and use it as an instrument to
set sinners on the path to perdition in the name of mercy… The mercy of God sends more sinners to Hell than His Justice… When the
sinner exhausts the mercy that God has allotted him, He punishes, and the more He was merciful, the more severe the punishment.
It is like the magnetic pressure under a volcano…the more you wait, the bigger will be the explosion.
He who despairs, despises the Mercy of God, believing that his sins are greater than Divine Mercy. If he truly had sorrow for having
offended God, he would hope in His Mercy, and he would realize that this Mercy is infinitely greater than any sins any creature could
ever commit. To despair is to sin against the Holy Ghost…the most grievous of all grievous sins.
God easily finds excuses to spare His creatures, and He created Our Lady to populate Heaven with people who otherwise stood no
chance of saving themselves.
At the explicit request of Our Lady, the Church also included the “Fatima Prayer,” following each decade of the Rosary. It states: “O
my Jesus…save us from the fires of Hell,” and did not much agree with Pope John Paul II’s [heretical] doctrine of universal salvation
[i.e., all are saved].
“No army on earth fears so much the enemy than the spirits of Hell fear the name of Mary,” said St. Germanus. What Lucifer is to
Hell [loss of God], Our Lady is to Heaven [possession of God]. A creature placed at the summit.
Our Lord died on His Cross to pay our debt, but also preventively, to show us that sin is murder, deicide to be precise.
Carefully explain many of the Devil’s traps, I saw that each bore an inscription: Pride, Disobedience, Envy, Impurity, Theft, Gluttony,
Sloth, Anger, and so on… Bad companions, bad books, and bad habits are mainly responsible for so many eternally lost… as too
idleness…
Mammon [is] one of the most powerful Lords of Hell. Its other name is greed, avarice, from the glittering splendor of some works of
the hand of man, to insignificant amounts of money…greed over accuмulates in retention; it prevents the heart from melting at the
sight of the misery of others… Some are so attached to material possessions that their love of God is lessened. Thus they sin against
charity, piety and meekness. Even the desire of riches can corrupt the heart, especially if such a desire leads to injustice… This is a
sure way to Hell.
How foolish of Elon Musk planning to connect brains to robots to extend human life, as if the progress of medicine did not show us
how miserably and inevitably the human brain decays.
Against prayer, the world is powerless…The world is full of evil, but “by prayer is obtained the gain of every good and the liberation
from every evil”…When he saw a Rosary, Padre Pio called it “The Weapon.” “He who uses this great weapon…knows not death,
leaves the earth, enters Heaven, and Lives with God.”
When souls live in the habit of mortal sin, the demons enter in them, and dominate them in several ways that vary according to the
quantity of their crimes…Most sinners make work easy for the Devil, says St. Theresa…”When a man abandons meditation, the Devil
has no need of carrying him to Hell, for he throws himself into it.”
Says the Cure d’ Ars: “My children, I think often that the greater number of Christians that damn themselves, do so by lack of
religious instructions…Religion is not properly understood. We affirm that the great part of those who are condemned to everlasting
torments, owe this irreparable misfortune to the ignorance of the Mysteries of the Faith that must necessarily be known and
believed to be admitted to the number of the elects.”
“God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble” (James 4:6). Says the Cure d’ Ars: “When He describes the proud prayer of
the Pharisee, Our Lord concludes he went away with nothing, because pride occupies the soul and leaves no space for grace. Pride,
likewise, guarantees that prayer, alms, fastings and good works will not get rewarded in the next life.” The toll of pride is heavy;
heavier and heavier…pride is Hell!
“If you consider the sacrament of penance,” says St. Leonard, “there are so many distorted confessions, so many studied excuses, so
many deceitful repentances, so many false promises, so many ineffective resolutions, so many invalid absolutions! Would you
regard as valid the confession of someone who accuses himself of sins of impurity and still holds to the occasion of them?”
More than confession, which heals the patient, the Eucharist is the preventative medicine par excellence; it blows up the access
bridges to mortal sin. Received properly, it makes the heart of man impossible to conquer by Satan: “It makes us flaming lions,” says
Chrysostom; “It burns sins, and illuminates our hearts as to inflame and divinize us by the participation to divine fire,” says St. John
Damascene.
The Novus Ordo Church presses indifference by securing at least a lukewarm reception to Holy Communion. This is done by
discouraging daily Mass, and by removing manifestations of adoration, such as Benedictions of the Blessed Sacrament, 40 Hours
Eucharistic Devotions, all abolished under Vatican II, and by removing genuflections at the requests of Protestants in the New Mass,
with all other manifestations of respect and love Catholics used to have. This culminates into allowing non-Catholics to approach
the Sacrament, in virtual of the so-called “Eucharistic hospitality,” and into allowing unconsecrated hands to handle the Sacrament,
leading to an infinite number of profanations.
The greatest punishment of sin is that it spirals into other sins, further engrossing the soul. For greed, St. Augustine says, “the
possession of great wealth does not end there, but rather extends the jaws of avarice.” For lust, St. Alphonsus asserts, “the more
the unchaste man wallows in the mire of impurity, the greater is his disgust, and, at the same time, his desire for such beastly
pleasure.” And for ambition the latter takes the example of Alexander, who wept because the rest of the kingdoms of the earth
were not under his dominion. He concludes: “If worldly goods would content the human heart, the rich and the monarchs of the
earth would enjoy complete happiness; but experience shows the contrary.”
The greatest danger of sin is that it lies: “Iniquity lies to itself;” it plunges man into the evil of guilt and blinds the soul until it finds
itself plunged in Hell. This hellish delusion is called presumption. “The Devil deludes man in two ways: by despair and by [false]
hope,” says St. Augustine.
“There is nothing easier in this world for a man than to pray, and it is precisely upon prayer that everyone’s salvation depends.”
The moment of our death, like the end of the world, has been kept secret from us, precisely to ensure good resolve every day;
otherwise, we would only repent at the gates of death and not before, which in fact means we would not repent at all. “The last day
is hidden so that all days may be carefully spent,” St. Augustine tells us.
We must take due note that the remedy to Hell is anther fire, that which proceeds from the admirable Heart of Mary. It is at this
moment of crisis in humanity, when so many are lost, that God is revealing to us His creates creation, Our Lady… There is no need
for us to despair in any way. Like a leashed dog, Hell can only hurt us if we are in its perimeter, and only for fear of entering this
perimeter must we know how bad Hell is. Therefore, we must stay in Her Heart, and fear nothing but to be away from its
protection. Fatima, unfulfilled as it is, shows what terrible price man has to pay if he refuses to be in compliance with the one God
has chosen to elevate [the Blessed Virgin Mary]…
If we determine to love Our Lord properly, invited as we are by Our lady to do penance for sinners…the early dynamic of the [infant]
Church will be restored, and an amazing triumph of Heaven over Hell is at hand.
