A lot of people seem to believe that there is no hell, or that there is no people in it even if there is a hell. Even St. Therese said that she believes there is no one in hell and I believe even Pope Francis said something similar. Why is this the case? Where does this come from ? Is this wishful thinking, hoping that it is the case, but knowing in reality it is neither empty nor non existent ? My culture is not catholic or christian in any way so I do not know
Peace to all,
We become the image of the will of the spirit father, logically.
The only unforgivable sin is unrepentant sin against the spirit logically and is blasphemy of the spirit.
What is our culture, our faith, or who is our spirit father?
United we become as One in being from The Father though the Mother for the Son becoming again in all One Family, I believe.
Peace always,
Stephen
I am not familiar with St. Therese saying that she does not believe anyone is in hell. If you have a citation, I would be interested in seeing it.
However, I do know the remark from Pope Francis to which you refer. As I recall, he said that he likes to think of hell as being empty. Whatever he meant by that (i.e. whether he meant that he believes hell is empty or that he would like to think that hell is empty), I do not know.
One thing I will mention is that not every personal opinion of every saint or pope is necessarily true.
I think these days there are a lot of people who like to think that there are zero are almost zero human souls in hell. In a sense we should all like to think there is no one in hell (in the sense that we should love all people and desire than no live a life that is offensive to God and end up suffering in hell). However, I do not think that the majority view of Catholics (or other Christians) over the last 2000 years supports the view that there are no souls in hell.
I do not have a sufficient explanation for why this view is more common now than it was in the past. I can only speculate, but I am not sure how helpful that would be.
I believe it is from Ste. Thérèse de Lisieux, Docteur de l’Église, apprends-nous à espérer
“St. Thérèse of Lisieux teaches hope through her “Little Way” of radical trust in God’s merciful love, showing that holiness isn’t achieved by great deeds but by embracing our littleness and weaknesses, confidently offering them to God as opportunities for His transforming grace, and finding joy in simple, everyday acts of love and surrender, rather than relying on self-effort. She assures us that Jesus, through His open heart, is the source of all hope, fulfilling His promises despite our imperfections, making even small acts of love infinitely valuable in His eyes.” Google AI
Peace to all,
C’est tellement vrai, en aimant, nous devons littéralement considérer toute l’humanité comme des fils et des filles de Dieu, je crois.
Through The Exodus, Greek for the Road Out, Moses turned the water into blood and from The New Exodus Jesus turns the water into wine then to blood.
OMNiLogical Rebirth and Salvation is through The Personal Relationship of Jesus and Mary becoming One Body through The Christ becoming again in all Creation One Family.
Rebirth is Baptized sanctified immortality and salvation is from Sacrifice thruogh Penance forgiven becomiong glorified becoming again in all Creation Transfigured in One Holy Spirit Family One God in being, OMNiLogically.
Logically we get there from there, I believe.
So true, Created from dust Adam and Eve become from the corrupt spirit through the mortal flesh becoming from Transforming Grace logically from Baptism becoming immortality becoming through The New Eve, Mary, God of Mercy Queen of Heaven preexisting in undefiled intelligence logic before Creation was ever created was even created and Mother of God through the Flesh for all becoming for The Catholic Church from Holy Spirit Incorruption becoming through the Immaculate Conception becoming “Reborn” brothers and sisters through the flesh for both natures from the spirit through the life in One Body for all through the Christ from the New Living Sacrifice through Penance from Confession through The Words of Absolution from The Priests becoming forgiven re-Sanctified and In Communion with The Holy Family One God in being in both natures for all becoming “Saved” Sons and Daughters of God becoming immortally glorified and incorruptibly transfigured in all Creation becoming again in One Holy Spirit Family One God in being, OMNiLogically.
Peace always,
Stephen

It comes from an idea that if God is all loving, He would not allow people to go to Hell, but this is a misunderstanding of what God is allowing. God does not send us to Hell. He allows us to choose Hell.
This idea of all will be saved is a modern idea popularized (among some Catholics who should know better) by a theologian named Hans Urs von Balthasar, who posed the question, “Dare we hope that all will be saved?”
I believe so. Jesus told us there is a Hell. And He told us that many will be there.
When it comes to who will be or will not be in Heaven, I love what Venerable Fulton J. Sheen said. He said that there will be three surprises when we get to Heaven. 1. Who is not there that we thought would be there. 2. Who is there that we thought would not be there. 3. That we ourselves are there (humility).
Some Protestants have a sort of entitlement mentality. They believe, because of their once-saved-always-saved theology, that they will go to Heaven. But, historical Christianity (Catholics and Orthodox) do not believe that all you have to do is believe that Jesus saved you and then you will be saved. This is not Biblical. There are examples in Scripture where exceptions have been made, and this is either at the start of one’s faith journey or at the end of their earthly journey. The middle, from when we first believed to the time of our last breath matters too.
We do not earn our way to Heaven apart from Christ’s merits on the Cross. We are saved by grace, through faith, working itself out in love. We have been saved (justification), we are being saved (sanctification), and we will be saved (glorification). All of this is a gift, not of our own merits, but in Christ’s merits working in us. God does not simply deem us to be holy, but He is truly making us holy, if we cooperate with His grace. We do not think of salvation as something just in the past, but in the past, present, and the future tense.
It is okay to “dare to hope that all will be saved,” unless it leads you to believe that there is no Hell or that that everyone is going to Heaven. Anyone who believes that is no longer believing in what Jesus taught.

Peace to all,
Saint, Popes and all mankind become to know the Mind of God becoming again for all in One Family, I believe, OMNiLogically.
When Stephen goes like:
Salvation is through rebirth. From Baptism transformed In The Living Waters we are reborn and from Sacrifice in the Blood through Penance we become forgiven again re-imaged and saved in One Family Body through both natures from the Spirit Power manifesting through the Life becoming again glorified and transfigured in all Creation becoming One Family in One Holy Spirit One God in being, OMNiLogically, I believe.
The Holy Spirit reimaging Power is from The Father through The Mother transformed immortality from the Immaculate Conception for Jesus Virgin Born through Family Powers from undefiled intelligence logic in the New Adam becoming through the Christ in all mankind becoming again in all creation One Holy Spirit Family One God in being.
Peace always,
Stephen
