Your particular judgment is going to be a very unpleasant experience. You had better be prepared.

Last month, I was told that Catholics "canonize, but do not demonize". I wish Catholics would get their stories straight!

For through the law I died to the law so that I might live for God. I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!

Galatians 2:19-21

You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified. I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by believing what you heard? Are you so foolish? After beginning by means of the Spirit, are you now trying to finish by means of the flesh?

Galatians 3:1-3

I ask this honestly—why is the plain teaching of Scripture that the work of Christ on the cross seemingly ignored or distorted? I don’t understand the connection between these indulgences and the grace offered through Jesus Christ. To me, this is a clear indication that the believer carries NO PENALTY of sin. Period. As Martin Luther would say, I would betray my conscience if I believed anything otherwise.

It is forbidden to presume knowledge about things that are, by nature, unknowable to us, like the subjective state of another's soul.

It is permitted, and sometimes a great act of charity and justice, to tell somebody the truth about the morally obectionable nature of their observable acts (what they've said or done.)

Ow. I can see us all elbow to elbow making a lurid flambeau, clutching to our bosoms that stinking, smouldering straw.
