DEDICATION

This blogspot is dedicated to Brian from Cherokee. He was the one who coined the word "cankata-ism", which we have since changed to CanKataKism. He frequently uses one of our favourites: The answer lies somewhere between yes and no.

This blogspot is not dedicated to Sister Gabriella, Loretta's Grade Two catechism teacher who may or may not have coined the phrase, "Remember, God is always watching you". One catechism class, Sister G drew three boxes on the blackboard.

The first one she left empty. "This is your soul without sin. If you die with this soul, you will go to Heaven”.

The second box she filled with tiny dots. "This is your soul with venial sin. If you die with this soul, you will go to purgatory, which is just like Hell, and will stay there until your sins are burned away".

The third one, she filled in enthusiastically and completely, breaking one or two sticks of chalk in the effort. "This is your soul with mortal sin. If you die with this soul, you will burn in Hell forever!"

Does Hell really exist? ... Maybe the answer lies somewhere between yes and no.
