You will notice on here that whenever some particularly vile leftist dies there is all sorts of talk about them burning in Hell. But, IF the once-saved crowd REALLY believes what they are saying, a muttered phrase at any moment of a person's life should be enough.

Oh, like the thief on the Cross?

The thief beside our Lord ASKED for His pardon and it was granted and presumably he sinned no more. The Church has ALWAYS taught that a sinner could repent up until the moment of death and be saved.

This is VERY DIFFERENT from uttering a phrase and then following it with decades of evil.

I liked Jaded’s story. It reminded me of the Catholic priest that was a congressman (D) for several terms and always voted in favor or any legislation supporting abortion.
Of course he remained a priest and in fact, I recall correctly I hope, he became a professor at Georgetown. Go figure in deed.

Once a priest, always a priest.
