Episode notes
Angels And The Beatific Vision
- Angels experience the beatific vision from creation and cannot enter hell because hell is the absence of God.
- If a person goes to hell, they are separated from any personal relationship with their guardian angel.
Guardian Angels And Purgatory
- If a soul is in purgatory the angel still ministers because that soul has not yet inherited salvation.
- If a soul reaches heaven the angel likely continues a unique accompaniment but both behold God.
Childlike Faith Opposes Self-Righteousness
- Jesus criticizes self-righteousness, not weakness, as the central attitude preventing salvation.
- Childlike faith is the opposite of cocky self-assurance and opens one to recognizing moral blindness.
