Hell Explained by Catholic Tradition | Judgment, Eternal Punishment, and the Soul ~ Fr. Ripperger

About this sermon

In this sobering conference, Fr. Chad Ripperger explains the Catholic doctrine of hell, including the pain of loss, the pain of sense, the eternity of punishment, the fixed will after death, remorse of conscience, the justice of God, and the terrifying consequences of dying in mortal sin. This talk follows the themes of death and judgment and offers a serious meditation on what awaits the soul after death. Drawing from Sacred Scripture, St. Thomas Aquinas, the Fathers of the Church, and traditional Catholic teaching, Fr. Ripperger lays out why hell is eternal, why the soul’s greatest suffering is separation from God, and why Catholics must live in the state of grace. Topics in this talk include: the particular judgment why souls in hell can never see God pain of loss and pain of sense the eternity of hell the worm of conscience punishment according to one’s sins hatred, remorse, self-loathing, and despair the resurrection of the damned why every Catholic should meditate on the Four Last Things dependence on God’s grace to avoid mortal sin This is a powerful reminder to examine our consciences, stay close to the sacraments, avoid mortal sin, and cling completely to Our Lord Jesus Christ and Our Lady. #Catholic #Hell #FrChadRipperger #FourLastThings #Judgment #MortalSin #CatholicSermon #TraditionalCatholic #CatholicTeaching #CensusFidelium 00:00 Opening Prayer 00:48 From Death and Judgment to Hell 01:05 The Soul’s Absolute Need to See God 02:03 Final Judgment and the Soul Sent to Hell 02:24 Who Goes to Hell?
