Thank you so much for this discussion with Fr. Seaward on Von Balthazar’s , I believe ,spiritually dangerous thoughts on Hell. I’m reminded of a cartoon with a group of Jews closely scrutinizing the stone tablets Moses is holding. The caption said more or less:They’re looking for loopholes. Fr. Is obviously a scholar of deep Faith & his book on angels also sounds intriguing.
