Notorious late term abortionist George Tiller, who was gunned down by a man with possible ties to extremist political groups, was eulogized this weekend as making heaven a "better, better place". The eulogizer actually told God to "get heaven ready" for "Mr. Enthusiasm" and said "Heaven will never be the same" with him there. In this eulogy, plainly devoid of fear of the Lord, surely there was no word on how this heretical, notorious abortionist, rife with blood of his helpless abortion victims, so speedily "made it into heaven" and no addressing of any of the following Scripture passages...
MK. 10:17,19: As he was setting out on a journey, a man ran up, knelt down before [Jesus], and asked him, "Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?"... "[Jesus answered:] You know the commandments: 'You shall not kill; you shall not commit adultery; you shall not steal; you shall not bear false witness; you shall not defraud; honor your father and your mother.'"
Rv. 21:8: "But as for cowards, the unfaithful, the depraved, murderers, the unchaste, sorcerers, idol-worshipers, and deceivers of every sort, their lot is in the burning pool of fire and sulfur, which is the second death."
Rv. 22:12-15 :"Behold, I am coming soon. I bring with me the recompense I will give to each according to his deeds. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end." Blessed are they who wash their robes so as to have the right to the tree of life and enter the city through its gates. Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the unchaste, the murderers, the idol-worshipers, and all who love and practice deceit.
Although we certainly cannot condone "vigilante justice", we also cannot forget that Mr. Tiller barbarically killed many innocent babies - even right at the point of their birth. He is also suspected of lying regarding the age of unborn children so that he could "legally" kill them. Although the eulogizer apparently feels he can judge where Mr. Tiller ended up, faithful Catholics know this decision is left to God and God alone. Still though, even if some great miracle occurred in the last moment of his life where this mass-murderer genuinely repented and converted from heresy (Mr. Tiller was an 'usher' at his heretical 'church'), it seems one's imagination may be stretched beyond the limits regarding how this man's presence there would make heaven a "better, better place", not to mention the stretch of the imagination that would be required to believe that this man could possibly have escaped Purgatory so quickly, especially in light of quotations such as the following...
"According to the holy Doctors, for every mortal sin a man is obliged by God to seven years of penance in this world, or the equivalent in purgatory; the reason being that every mortal sin is an offense against the seven Gifts of the Holy Ghost." (St. Vincent Ferrer)
"[S]he will be in Purgatory until the end of the world." (Our Lady of Fatima to Sister Lucy, in response to whether or not Lucy's young friend was in heaven)
"[I]f you assign, on the average, as St. Frances of Rome says, seven years for the expiation of one mortal sin, remitted as to the guilt, who does not see that we arrive at an appalling duration [in Purgatory] and that the expiation may especially be prolonged for many years, and even for centuries? Years and centuries of torments!" (Fr. Schouppe)
