I failed to proof: The magic words, IMHO, are "temporal punishment of sin." In justice and appropriate self-love we welcome that punishment. It is the means God uses to make us holy.
Of course, our opponents do not see that charity is the perfection of justice and holiness the perfection of charity. In general they don't get the whole idea. They show this by their arguments against it.
