[Mrs. Don-o]

I'm astonished at the not-Godpleasing malice of this., We are not permitted to say anyone is definitively in hell --- not Judas Iscariot, not even Hitler or Stalin, and not Woody Guthrie.

There is a very good reason why the Church will canonize, but will not demonize.

Note well, I am not saying that one cannot judge ideologies as good or evil, words as true or false, actions as right or wrong. But the souls of men and the extent of the Divine Wisdom are beyond your purview, and mine.

See post 20. She caught my Kingston Trio line.

True, no one on Earth can say who’s in Hell, although proofs can be gathered that someone’s in Heaven.

BTW, the last line of that K.T. ballad was, “If you want to be a Bolshevik, you’ll have to go to Hell.”

Any doubts as to where J.V. Stalin is, now?
