** the Gates of Hell swinging open for him.**

YOU cannot say this for sure. Maybe he had received the last Sacraments including Reconciliation.

" Maybe he had received the Last Sacraments ... "

Maybe, but I don't believe a sinner can be absolved of his sins unless conscious, morally aware of his transgression, and truly, truly repentent. There is NO evidence Geoghan ever was.

The man was evil, and his enablers are evil, and the whole rotten corrupt system of collusion and conspiracy is evil. All those bishops conspired in a 50-year reign of terror. The rot has been exposed ... let the Church rebuild without the defilers who debased it.
