I am knowledgeable enough in Italian to know that a literal translation (piu che = more than) is not necessarily how a concept is translated from one language into another.

[Romulus]

Hell is the non-state of ontological nullity, the "place" from which the omnipresent God is absent. The Holy Father's attempting to recall the faithful to a concept of Ecclesia as existential, a communion of persons whose existence derives from their participation in God's transcendant Be-ing. Hell is existential suicide, the consequence of the abuse of free will in choosing to reject God. To reject what exists transcendentally with the force of irresistible Truth is to choose what's false -- what "is not". Those who align themselves with what "is not" pronounce sentence on themselves; to them, Jesus as Judge will simply say "thy will be done."
