The teaching
Magisterium of the Church has also
affirmed
the existence and nature of hell.
The Lateran Council IV, 1215
"... the wicked (receive), a perpetual punishment with the devil …"
Pope Innocent IV (1243-1254)
"But if anyone dies unrepentant in the state of
mortal sin, he
will undoubtedly be tormented forever in the fires
of an
everlasting hell." (Letter to the Bishop of
Tusculum, Section 24)
