Ressentimento pela Misericórdia de Deus!

Bishop Barron told this fact.

The Police shot a hit man in Chicago. This goes back to like the 1930s or 40s. Someone whose whole life was dedicated to killing people.

And he was involved in some kind of shootout, and he's lying in the street, dying. He was a Catholic though, and he had the presence of mind to ask for a priest to come. And the priest came, and with his dying breaths, this man confessed his sins and then died.

And the priest was asked about it, and he said, well, yeah, I'm sure he'll require purgatory, but yes, this man will go to heaven. Just as Saint Francis of Assisi went to heaven. It caused a real furor in the press.

People write letters in, complaining. This hit man, this terrible person, this with one simple confession, he'll get the same heaven that Saint Francis gets? Doesn't seem right. Doesn't seem fair or just.

You see how the resentment we feel is a sign that we haven't yet got this right, that we haven't thought this through. If you're wearing your religious obligation like a terrible albatross around your neck, then you haven't gotten it yet.
