Excellent statement!
The Church has never declared if there are any human beings in hell.
But the Bible has made definitive statements about some people in Hell that I posted.
I know Bishop Robert Barron and maybe even Pope Francis are/was a fan of Swiss theologian Hans Urs von Balthasar, who asked in his 1988 book, “Dare We Hope That All Men Be Saved?” if it be part of our Christian duty to hope that no one is in Hell. But, he also said that we are probably not all saved.
However, this has caused some to run with this idea that no one is going to Hell, which is not what Sacred Scripture tells us will happen. There will be a final judgement. There will be gnashing of teeth.
I think for individuals who do not want to believe that an all-loving God could send someone to Hell is loving, but what these individuals do not understand is that our Heavenly Father does not want us to go to Hell. He has gifted us free-will, because He loves us. God does not send us to Hell. We choose Heaven or we choose Hell by how we live our lives in Christ Jesus.
I think one of the biggest lies that the Devil tells souls is that there is no Hell (or that everyone is going to Heaven). He tries to convince them that they are gods that can manifest or control their own destiny without the help of our Lord and Savior. This is a fallacy and will lead one to Hell.
And, I do not choose God, because I fear Hell. I choose God, because He loves me and because He knows what is good for me. He loves you and has a purpose for your life. Reject the lies and embrace Christ Jesus, who shows us the way, the truth, and the life. Amen ♱
The Bible does say there are specific individuals in hell which is what I referred to.
Why would you call my post speculation about people in Hell when I clearly identified people who are in Hell according to the BIBLE. All Catholics must believe the Bible. Are you Catholic?

We pray against their deeds, not against their souls. (my thought). Jesus knows very well that we are sinful. But he prays to God to forgive us for our ignorant ways.
