in order to inspire fear, to coerce changes in belief and behavior, is simply ineffectual in the present age. You might not like it, but that is my take.
It's not to inspire fear, it's to tell the truth. But sometimes the truth can be scary. That is the mission of the Church, that is what SALVATION means, not going to hell.
