When talking about hell, too many people fall into one of two errors—either ignoring the reality of eternal punishment or despairing of reaching heaven. Monsignor Charles Pope, author of The Hell There Is, confronts these errors and explains this widely misunderstood doctrine of the Church. He talks with Father Dave Pivonka, TOR, about why God allows hell to exist, where hell is revealed in Scripture, our need for repentance, and the important role of God’s love and mercy.
