In 1999 Pope John Paul II declared that Heaven was “neither an abstraction nor a physical place in the clouds, but that fullness of communion with God which is the goal of human life.” Hell, by contrast, was “the ultimate consequence of sin itself . . . Rather than a place, Hell indicates the state of those who freely and definitively separate themselves from God, the source of all life and joy”.I never realized that your church taught you that heaven and hell are not real...

I never realized that your church taught you that heaven and hell are not real... The very quote you post REFUTES your claim that the Church teaches "heaven and hell are not real..." Did you even read it?

I never realized that your church taught you that heaven and hell are not real... It doesn't, but don't let that stop you from misrepresenting Catholic dogma. What part of "Hell is real and eternal" do you not understand? Or are you so blinded by Jack Chick propaganda that you missed that?
