So it is true!

God does not condemn people to hell, people condemn themselves.  They choose to go to hell.  It is a matter of free will, God loves us so much he will allow us to reject him and choose eternal damnation.  A politician more or less affirms this when he stated, “I would rather go to hell than take orders on how to vote from Cardinal Pell.”  This from Catholic News Agency:

“Catholic lawmakers in Australia said yesterday they will vote in favor of therapeutic cloning regardless of the directives or warnings issued by the archbishop of Sydney.

Tony Stewart of the ruling Labor Party in the New South Wales state parliament, said he would rather go to hell than take orders on how to vote from Cardinal George Pell. “Maybe I’ll go to hell, but if I go to hell I’m going to do so by saving a lot of lives, because that’s what this bill is about,” Tony Stewart said in a radio interview.

Cardinal Pell said recently that cloning is unethical and “a serious moral matter”, which could see the creation of human and animal hybrids.

“Catholic politicians who vote for this legislation must realize that their voting has consequences for their place in the life of the Church,” he reportedly said.”- CNA 

Of course, this means we ought to pray for the conversion of such people while they are still living, since our prayers won’t do them any good once they are in hell.

Have a nice day.

    I hope Tony Stewart remembers his words when he’s roasting. Somehow I doubt it. He’ll be too busy at that point, screaming for mercy.

    Canon Law should require that all homilies shall refer to at least one sin that carries with it the punishment of Hell.

    A couple of quotes that I’ve always appreciated - I beleive from Fr. Stavinskas

    “Hell is our doing, not God’s”

    “Just because I don’t believe in a place doesn’t mean that I won’t end up there.”

    Thanks Fr. - I also think of Mother Angelica’s quip to people who say they don’t believe in hell, “They’ll believe it when they get there.”
    That one always cracked me up.
