In the same way, not everyone with a Christian icon actually believes that God is God.
Then they're breaching forum rules, which reserve the "orthodox Christian" icons for those who accept the Nicene Creed.
Anyway... given what popes have had to say about the subject at hand, what part of "basic Catholic teaching" have I been denying in this thread?
"The teaching of the Church affirms the existence of hell and its eternity. Immediately after death the souls of those who die in a state of mortal sin descend into hell, where they suffer the punishments of hell, 'eternal fire.' The chief punishment of hell is eternal separation from God, in whom alone man can possess the life and happiness for which he was created and for which he longs." (Catholic Catechism #1035)
