re: #1116 albusteve

yes, I get you…evil, to some degree, is redeemed in the CC…I don’t get all of it myself…Reine or Walter would know more about it…I’ve always shied away from the collective, especially churches so I’m a rube about the fine points

People may be redeemed, but Evil exists in a very real sense for a Catholic (it’s even personified) and people are being constantly tempted by it.

I think this is a somewhat alien concept for an atheist. I certainly find the whole thing pretty strange myself.
