Moral science is better occupied when treating of friendship than of justice.

That the saints may enjoy their beatitude and the grace of God more abundantly they are permitted to see the punishment of the damned in hell.

Clearly the person who accepts the Church as an infallible guide will believe whatever the Church teaches.

The celebration of Holy Mass is as valuable as the death of Jesus on the cross.

The magnitude of the punishment matches the magnitude of the sin. Now a sin that is against God is infinite; the higher the person against whom it is committed, the graver the sin-it is more criminal to strike a head of state than a private citizen-and God is of infinite greatness. Therefore an infinite punishment is deserved for a sin committed against Him.

The soul is like an uninhabited world that comes to life only when God lays His head against us.

Far graver is it to corrupt the faith that is the life of the soul than to counterfeit the money that sustains temporal life.
