In fact, the numbing of
consciences, their indifference to good and evil, their deviations, are a great
threat for man. Indirectly, they are
also a great threat for society, because in the last analysis the level of
morality of society depends on the human conscience.
"The rebel angels sinned but just once and never
got a second chance, but were cast immediately into everlasting hell…I have
sinned many times, 'O God, be merciful to me the sinner'…I will think of a soul
in hell because of one mortal sin and ask myself where would I be if it were
not for God’s mercy?"
