Well, lets go pop open the Catechism of the Catholic Church and see what Holy Mother Church says.
1035 The teaching of the Church affirms the existence of hell and its eternity. Immediately after death the souls of those who die in a state of mortal sin descend into hell, where they suffer the punishments of hell, "eternal fire."
you conveniently left out the bit about hell being “eternal separation from God” and ignored the apostrophes which show “eternal fire” is clearly a metaphor.

The chief punishment of hell is eternal separation from God, in whom alone man can possess the life and happiness for which he was created and for which he longs.
