SILENCE ON HELL

Among the many crises facing humanity in the world today, one caught our special attention. In the first working day of the Vatican II Council's third session September 15, criticism was levelled on the failure to mention in the proposed draft of a holy document the possibility of one!s going to hell after this life.

Perhaps the oversight is excusable, Modern civilization has established a hell in many parts of the globe, Thus millions of people are permitted to experience this variety of future life with~ out first dying. This upset in the natural order of things raises doubt as to the validity of not a few theological doctrines.

In addition, another grave theological doubt has arisen due to recent scientific discoveries not anticipated in the Bible. Is it certain that hell would still be habitable in case a man-made nuclear war were carried through to its logical conclusion?
