Episode notes

On this episode of A Reason For Hope Podcast, Mario Costabile has a conversation with Catholic author Patrick O’Hearn about his groundbreaking book, The Truth About Hell. In an age where belief in heaven and hell is fading, this episode dives deep into Catholic eschatology and the eternal consequences of our choices—salvation or damnation.

In this episode we explore:

Why the Church’s teaching on eternal damnation is not only true but urgently needed today.
The twelve things Jesus said about Hell—and how they challenge modern Catholicism.
The battle of spiritual warfare and how the evil one distorts the truth about Hell, free will, and salvation.
What the Magisterium, the saints, and Marian apparitions have revealed about Hell.
Chilling mystical visions from saints that illustrate the reality of damnation.
The role of purgatory and how it differs from Hell in Catholic eschatology.
How to use Catholic reflections, prayers against Hell, and Bible study to grow in truth and avoid deception.
A practical path for avoiding Hell and embracing God’s mercy.

Whether you're new to the topic or seeking deeper truth, this episode will enrich your understanding of Church teaching, free will, and the final destiny of every soul.
