Am I to understand that something which is “altogether necessary” is not “absolutely necessary” in Roman Catholic speak?
It translates poorly I think. :)
In fact it is consistent - if you have a desire to do what God wants you to do, and you die in a state of Grace as a Gift from God that saves you - you have been subject to exactly what every Pope (and every other Bishop) would want for you, a happy death and the Eternal Beatific Vision.
