Sorry to quote myself, but i just wanted to apologize to everyone since i was tired last night when i posted this, and i think i conflated the terms ”hellfire and damnation” with “fire and brimstone” to come up with “hellfire and brimstone.” :covri:
But going back to Catholic school, they didnt like me very much in there since ive always been a ‘questioner’.. Example, around the time i was in grade school, catholic dogma was changed in that it had always been believed that if a baby suddenly, tragically dies between the time it’s born and the time it’s baptized- it would be sentenced to purgatory…. An innocent little baby.. it’s apparently becuase we are all born guilty of sin, you see … anyway, at some point , the powers-that-be in the Vatican decided that instead of being sentenced to purgatory, these babies would instead take a detour to somehting called “Limbo”.. that’s a true story, or at least the way it was explained to me in the 1980s.. ’How low can you go’, indeed .. So yours truly, being the inquisitive 9 yr old i was, started asking questions about how people can just change rules like that.. and did the directive come straight from the Big Guy upstairs, or does that work exactly ??
Most religions dont like it when their followers ask questions, i wonder why. :shrug:
