The Inner Life
Father John Eckert joins Deacon Patrick Conley to discuss Why you Want to Avoid Hell * (7:17) Joseph - For Catholics who don't confess and go to the priest to get their sins absolved, is it in the church's norms to proclaim they are in hell? * (15:32) Margaret - I think people don't understand the definition is love. When you cut off from God, you're cutting off eternally. (25:05) Break 1 * Fatima’s vision of hell. * (34:24) Prescott - Fires of Hell...spirits...how does that affect us? * (37:46) Email - Is the Fire of God’s love the same as the fire of Hell? (41:32) Break 2 * (43:16) Tessa - Thinking about hell...wondering if it's a fair thing to talk to somebody who is walking away and telling them they're choosing to walk away and out of a state of grace. * (48:15) How to be aware of hell without falling into despair?
