Interesting and very important topic.

Jimmy Akin has discussed this quite a bit lately in his blog:

The Population of Hell
Canonization Of The Damned
Canonization of the Damned: Part II

Also, as I linked in another thread where this topic came up, here is The Population of Hell, by Avery Cardinal Dulles, S.J.

As Padre Pio used to say:
"They'll believe in hell when they get there"!

Hopefully, your submission will inspire more Catholics to invoke the patronage of St Joseph (that they too may depart this world in the arms of Jesus and Mary), and to pray the holy rosary each and every day

Americans once had a reputation for common sense; this smacks of a creeping utopianism.

A few weeks ago, there was a news story on the BBC (broadcast by local public TV) concerning Indians who travel to Nepal to find desperately poor Nepalese girls to lure to India. The girls are promised good jobs, but instead find themselves enslaved as prostitutes; they must service dozens of men a day seven days a week. Eighty percent of these girls become infected with HIV; when they become ill, charity organizations can do nothing more than take care of them until they die.

When I see stories such as this, I have no trouble believing in perdition.
