Today someone released a poll indicating that 92% of Americans expect to go directly to Heaven on their death. The others did not believe in life-after, thought they would return as a different life-form, etc., etc.

Relevant? Yup.

Torie and Sinky represent, mutatis mutandis, those who are so "nice" that they can't understand eschatology--nor the direct, clear, and foreboding warnings of Christ and His Mother that there would be many, many, many souls lost.

In the case of Mary, she specifically indicated that it was sins against the 6th/9th which would load up the shores of hell.

Being "nice" doesn't cut it. One may be civil, but still tell someone they are in DEEP doo-doo; and it's far more charitable to make that announcement at the risk of 'losing' a friend.

Those who are not pleased with certain postings on this thread may wish to concentrate their minds once a day on the Four Last Things, which still are Death, Judgment, Heaven, and Hell.

As far as I know, Torie isint a Catholic, at least based the posts I have read. Again if a non Catholic holds views that are not in line with chruch teachings, thats one thing, it is quite another when ordained clergy hold views that are out of line with chruch teaching, and that is why I said in a thread a few days ago, unless I know a parish is solidly orthodox, then I am not so sure that technically converting to the church will in reality bring people closer to the faith, especially in the typical suburban mega-parish' that push "peace & justice", mercy(without sacrafice).

PS To others who say I am a SSPXer, how many SSPXers attend a Novus Ordo mostly in English?

sins against the 6th/9th

?????

By the way, I am in that elite 8% who don't think they are going to heaven. I think I will be rendered into dust.

Ok then. The Junior Pharisees on this thread are "in DEEP doo-doo".

They better pray to God that He is more merciful toward them over their sins than they have been toward others.
