The readings last evening reflected the mood of the letter read instead of a sermon.
'...and then he will send out his angels and gather his elect from the four winds".
I suppose the first step in recompensing people who have suffered wrong is for the perpetrator to apologise. When this is not possible due to the length of time elapsed the organization for whom they worked can do so on their behalf.
"We were wrong and have made amends to remedy this so it will never happen again".
Last evening I listened to the entire letter by the Bishops on behalf of the Catholic church.
Of course this will not appease all. Those that are still angry can take some comfort in knowing that the God we worship is just. There will be eternal damnation for the unrepentant or long suffering for some in purgatory! The worst thing about hell will be the disgrace and humiliation of sins on earth. There will be no sympathy from others there.
Bullshit Robert!
ReplyDeleteOK, the apology is a start and the promise that it won’t happen again is necessary but hard to believe.
The victims whose lives have been ruined, who have suffered from mental anguish, low self esteem, drug and alcohol addictions and suicide cannot take any comfort in knowing that “the God we worship is just”. That’s nonsense.There will be no eternal damnation for the unrepentant or long suffering for some in purgatory! There is no hell. Get real.

On death - yes.
