The Only Evil

May 16, 2019

 

Salisbury Cathedral from the Meadows, John Constable; 1831

“WHAT we call death (separation of soul & body) is something temporary, i. e., until the resurrection at the Last Judgment. The real death is the death of the soul through mortal sin, a death that has no end if we happen to depart from the present life in such a state.

The reason why grave sin is called ‘mortal’ is because it takes away the supernatural life of the soul. The greatest evil is sin. The only evil is sin. The consequences of sin are eternal.”

Fr. Nicolas Despósito
