“While very few pastors and priests preach about 'hell and damnation' these days, that doesn't seem to stop Pope Benedict XVI from continuing to speak out on 'unfashionable' subjects. Last Sunday, the Pope celebrated Mass at a parish in the northern suburbs of Rome. In his sermon to the parishioners, Benedict reminded his audience that hell is a place which really exists. As reported by the London Times, "the Pope said that in the modern world many people, including some believers, had forgotten that if they failed to 'admit blame and promise to sin no more', they risked 'eternal damnation--the inferno'". ”
Ed Cognoski responds:The reason the Church becomes more and more irrelevant and anachronistic over time is because it keeps installing leaders who say things like "hell is a place which really exists."
