I've read that an NO priest said that the Hell is just a state, not a place. I think that this is heretical, as Hell itself a place, but I think that somehow separated from our world, not as some place on Earth. Does the NO think like as I've said? (I've read that JPII went to Hell because he didn't preach the existence of Hell plus lain with women in a Protestant revelation. Asides from that, it is very probable, since he did liturgical abuses, like, kissing the Quran) I've read in my old RE book that the Kingdom of God is not a territory, but a spirituality. It refers to a biblical phrase.
One of the earmarks of the popes after Vatican II is, you can't be giving
what they had to say much attention. It will likely get you to the point of
being as confused as they were. :confused1:
They have uttered and promoted material heresy to be sure but it is not our
place to judge whether they knew what they were talking about. But if we
suspect they were simply under a fog of profound confusion, then it makes
a lot more sense they could have said those things. Insanity is not a blessing.
It is a curse. It comes with a kind of leniency in how one will be judged, but
it also inhibits one's right reason so that one may not be capable of having
true and intelligent thinking going on. And that may inhibit your holiness. But
not necessarily.
I like Padre Pio's answer.
Someone complained to him that their friend doesn't believe in hell, that he
doesn't think hell is real. Padre Pio said,
Well, that's okay, he can think
what he likes for now, but there's no question that all of his doubts about
whether hell is real or not will completely disappear just as soon as he
gets there. -- Because his words apply to everyone, even to the popes.
