I was just reading a bit of Thomas Acquinas. He states with certainly that God loves all the sinners in hell.

Aquinas wrote his theological works 1,000 years after the Bible was written.

Everything he said about Hell was an extrapolation from two verses in the New Testament; 1 Peter 4:6, and Ephesians 4:9.

Ephesians 4:9 https://www.biblegateway.com/verse/en/Ephesians%204:9

I don't want to get into a pissing match with the Catholics.

IMHO, there is no purgatory and no limbo. If someone is washed clean by the Holy Spirit, they're a saint, no nomination, no voting involved.

Paul was the first Pope. He elected himself.

Everyone worships their own god.

The universe is.

You're robbing Peter to pay Paul.

St. Peter was the first Pope.
