Hell is the state of eternal punishment for the angels and men who are condemned by God can be viewed as a truth "uncomfortable" that often undergoes a strong opposition. It 's a "shocking truth", states St. John Chrysostom (1). According
Scheeben (2), hell is a mystery that transcends its atrocities in the knowledge and concepts of natural reason.
1) For Ep. To II Thess., Hom. II, 3 (PG 62.477).
2) Scheeben, MJ, Die Mysterien des Christentums (* it. The mysteries of Christianity), Mainz 1925 (= 1865), § 97, p. 658. The same is true already, as the author points out, the mystery of rejecting grace.
