I would submit to you that hell is the ONLY place there is free will. Beings will be totally free to live in utter torment apart from God.

That would be partial free will. In Hell you cannot LOVE

From Catechism...

1707 "Man, enticed by the Evil One, abused his freedom at the very beginning of history."10 He succumbed to temptation and did what was evil. He still desires the good, but his nature bears the wound of original sin. He is now inclined to evil and subject to error:

1704 The human person participates in the light and power of the divine Spirit. By his reason, he is capable of understanding the order of things established by the Creator. By free will, he is capable of directing himself toward his true good. He finds his perfection "in seeking and loving what is true and good."7

"Partial" free will??? Well, that's a new one. :O)

It is really shocking to see how some separated Christians have been fooled, seeing heaven as "servitude" and Hell as "freedom."

There is nothing free about hell; no one wants to be there!
