Most Loved Anthony,
God’s contradictory sign, by His Holy Cross He has saved the world !!! Have a Blessed Martin Luther King Day and know your created souls infinite value washed clean by His Precious Blood.
Which begets the awareness of the questions , “Why save us ? “ Why redeem us ?” AND save and redeem us from what ?”
For me, the obvious logical system answers arrive , from hell , from ourselves, and from the demons .
In support, scripture and tradition is replete with instruction . It is known that each soul can KNOW the difference between good and evil and a prayerful spiritual life often times objectively reveals, to our spiritual “sense”, the supernatural reality of evil . St. Paul further admonishes us all, as he apparently choose to do personally , “work out your salvation ( relationship covenant with God ) with fear and trembling”.
In context, Pope Francis’s “opinion”,says it all !!! If there is no hell, if hell is only. an “empty” and vacuous thought , then there is no meaning or purpose to any blessing or our love of Christ !!!
Bless what ? Bless a relationship with God ? A relationship in which the individual whom desires blessing has no need or purpose for the blessing? Since “universalism” knows no hell , free will choices are rendered meaningless?
In the hypothetical, if God speaks to us about hell, BUT only as an idle threat, as in this hypothetical will not to send anyone there, this does not preclude the reality that we are those that “send” ourselves to hell by our free will intents of heart and mind . God will honor our choice to make for ourselves a hell on earth as might also become eternal .
The Francis and Fernandez dou are then those in high places, whom, by their “opinions”, become the instruments that lead others to perdition – even if they do not believe or think they are doing so !!!
It is Our Lady’s Immaculate Heart that will triumph . Your encouragement to prayer , fasting, and penance is in keeping with Her messages . She informed of a Hell to be fearful of and of a hell which we pray that others and those we love become saved . We indeed pray for “universalism” , BUT we do so without any presumption of opinion that God , as ultimate judge , will not allow us to “have our way” . The Bible clearly states this, to paraphrase , “He will hand us over to ourselves “.
We can only pray that Francis’s “opinions” might become apolitical and , to the contrary , focus upon his prayers for the gift of an eternal life for each one of us .

Very, very well “unpacked” . . couched IN CHARITY to all, Scott!
A moment, right now (!), when once again I’m led to
think on HOW AWESOME our freedom, and free will !!
Continued family prayer and resting in OUR LORD’s
Freedom.
We can never forget that Francis is a true South
American DICTATOR: “My way or the highway”,
. . even after FIRST “listening” to every other
point of view.
But the Church’s Canon Law trumps any and all human
points of view and “rigid” dictatorships.Fr. Gerald Murray
is not only a veteran Canon Lawyer but a Faithful Priest,
speaks several languages, and, in his service as Priest
and [ TRUE ] Pastor, can and does employ his Canon
Law qualifications to conter any and all serious error in
Faith and Morals with absolute certainty and confidence.
“@9:52 “ . . something I hold personally. I like to think that
Hell is empty. I HOPE that’s the reality.” A dictator’s “hope”?
What kind of hope is that?
Francis has NEVER been a scholar or he would KNOW
FOR SURE !
So we Faithful are caught between two “rigidities”: Catholic
SACRED Deposit on Faith and Morals, and an equivocating
“sidewalk humanist” Dictator’s “hope”.
