People struggle with many teachings of the Church: this we know. One such teaching is that our eternal destiny is determined by the state of our soul at the moment of death. “Do you mean, I could have loved God all my life, always gone to Church, tithed, been faithful in marriage, and the rest, and then I indulged in one terribly wicked thought the day before I died, didn’t repent of it, and now my whole life’s effort was wasted?” Such an objection is easy to understand. But let's look into this more carefully, to understand why the Church's teaching is true, and how much it actually benefits the one who lives by it.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ, the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
