re: #299 Decatur Deb

That would be a general assumption, but ain’t necessarily so. There are a thousand levels of sophistication in orthodox Catholicsm, from recently converted tribesmen to almost incomprehensible theologians and mystics.
Pope will not presume to say anyone or collectivity is in Hell. That would be like an anti-canonization.

That would be just bad taste. But the doctrines that are actually taught are pretty clear in their implications.
