I certainly find nothing that is wrong, cruel or contrary to Christ's message if that man suffers for all of eternity. Only a human being fully owned by Satan could do what he did. People who seem to think Jesus is all puppies and fuzzy "everyone and EVERYTHING" is forgiven ... they might want to crack open the Holy Bible.

But in fact, some believe eternal damnation in hell is not unpleasant for people like Scully, that they may receive something like a paradoxical gift ... because they are in their element and in the company of others just like them. Right where they belong and feel at home. I personally prefer not to occupy myself with such musings, because I have unshakeable faith that God has everything well under control.
Pope Francis seems to think "everyone, everyone, everyone" should go to heaven ... but many are coming to the conclusion that he is not even a believer, like a number of popes down through the centuries, who might be waiting for Peter Scully in his final home.
In the Catholic faith, the only sin that cannot be forgiven is what is called "a sin against the Holy Spirit". Took me awhile to find out what that exactly meant. Any good Catholic priest can tell you that you can sin against Jesus himself, do the most awful blasphemous stuff, lead a spectacularly sinful life. And you CAN be forgiven and reach heaven, after a stayover in purgatory, where you can be "purged" of your sins and cleansed, through genuine, heartfelt remorse. People can pray for those in purgatory and help speed the process. What will NOT be forgiven, the only thing unforgiveable, is loving your sins, no matter how horrible, enjoying such a life, and if you were offered an opportunity for redemption, you would turn it down. Out of an insatiable desire to do evil. In other words, if you have become demonic.
