It is sometimes said that many people suffer "hell" on earth. Especially during times of war, crime, famine and extreme poverty.
Unfortunately eternal hell (the loss of one's soul) is a real possibility and something Jesus warned us against.
It has become fashionable in some Catholic quarters these days to question where there are now or will ever be any souls populating hell. Hell, it is taught, is a "real possibility," but whether there are any souls actually there, or whether there will ever be any souls there, is unknown to us.
It is, of course, true that hell is a "real possibility" for each of us. And that is a sobering thought. But it is also true that souls are actually in hell now, and will be for all eternity. This is a teaching of our Catholic Faith.
