I agree with your point about suicide but when you say you believe Judas was forgiven.

How do you know he hung himself out of remorse rather than fear?

I'm not remembering the scripture related to Judas death at the moment.

Welcome to Fr.

Uh Oh. Assumption.

I assumed Judas would be remorseful - as I hope I would be.

If I were Judas, I would not commit suicide from fear, because I would fear the eternity of death experienced through betrayal more than a life filled with remorse.

If Judas had chosen life, redemption would be more assured.

Well, I guess that settles the matter.

Fear of what or whom?
