Everybody's talking about it

Heaven and Hell

We don't know, we can only hope, and act as though we have an idea where we want to be. I believe Heaven and Hell exist, but I don't presume to know God's mind as to who is, or is going, where.

Can Non-Catholics Be Saved?

Mark Shea does his usually excellent job of explaining something that has (and still does) cause great disagreement in the Church among the faithful (or those who even consider such things.)
