More Wisdom from Fr. Chris Alar, MIC

Does the Church teach that those who take their own life automatically go to hell? That’s what I learned. . . . Actually, the Church does not teach this. The Church has never said that a particular soul, even from suicide, is in hell. . . . This is how the Church now looks upon suicide: with pity, not with condemnation.

—Fr. Chris Alar, MIC from his talk After Suicide: There’s Hope for Them and for You
