Yeah... No - not really. You said there's nothing in catholic teachings about hell being a "punishment". Well, apparently - there is SOMETHING, at least according to the fragment you just quoted - even if it's not the "main thing".
It's pretty clearly spelled out in the catechism, as quoted earlier - Jesus' angels, at his command will cast the sinners into the fire. Of course, I'm sure it won't be difficult to correct in the next edition of Catechism - whenever that happens. After all - for old guys wearing dresses and funny hats, who make this sh*t up for a living - there is no circle that can not be squared. They made it up - they can twist it however they like. It's not like anyone can check...
A punishment cast by God, is what I said.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
