Quote:Catholics do not understand "hell" as being a terribly hot place, inhabited by devils (!) where people suffer forever. We regard "hell" as being the condition of eternal separation from God.
Can you support that? I just read the Catholic Encyclopedia entry on hell and "a terribly hot place, inhabited by devils (!) where people suffer forever" seems to be well within Catholic thought on the subject.
