Christ’s Descent into Hell As Life Counceling – Leo XIV
During today's general audience, Pope Leo XIV offered a psychological interpretation of Jesus Christ's descent into hell, framing it as part of the current therapeutic culture.
According to Leo XIV, the descent into hell is not only about the past or just about the realm of the dead, but also "the daily hell of loneliness, shame, abandonment and life's struggles".
"Christ enters into all these dark realities to bear witness to the love of the Father."
Leo XIV went on that Christ, descends "into our daily hells" and does "not judge". "Not to blame, but to save. He does so quietly, on tiptoe, like one who enters a hospital room to offer comfort and help.”
Christ is the judge of the living and the dead, deciding their eternal reward or damnation.

It's unclear whether he believes in Christ's literal descent into hell and in God's judgment, which follows immediately upon the death of every person and will be universal on Judgment Day. Well, given that he heads a conciliar church, it's possible he believes in neither.
Prevost continues to reinterpret the Scriptures according to his heretical opinions, which are contrary to the Bible. These interpretations are anti-apostolic, as they contradict the teachings of the Church Fathers, which constitute the official doctrine of the Church. That is precisely what Marxist liberation pseudo-theology, consists of: reinterpreting the Scriptures in order to wage war against the "oppressive" God of Catholicism and the Bible.
Aside from all the heretical garbage, he makes it sound like neurosis is the normal state of a human when it's not. It's not normal to have a "daily hell".
While neurosis is part of it, most Westerners are frighteningly unresiliant. The smallest inconvenience quickly becomes an insurmountable burden. Luxury will do that to you.
When I worked in appliances, I served several wealthy communities, and a few working class areas. I never caught attitude from the working class folks. The wealthy, on the other hand... well, let's just say I've seen grown men have meltdowns over a broken ice maker.
What kind of doctor tiptoes into a hospital room, sees a patient dying from gangrene in their foot, and then fails to make a rational judgment and consider amputating the affected part to save the patient's life?
In Matthew 5:29-30, Jesus urges us to take extreme measures to avoid sin. He instructs us to remove the sin from our eyes or cut off at the root the actions that lead us to sin, so that we are not cast into hell.
Prevost does not preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ; instead, he avoids calling sinners to repentance and a radical change of life so that they can live in holiness. He offers them the poison of Bergoglio's false "mercy" so that they may perish in their sins.
The Church has condemned humanism and rationalism. Prevost once again denies the dogmas of faith by giving them a heretical, erroneous, and humanist interpretation. St. Paul warned us not to be deceived by empty and meaningless words, and that anyone who preaches a false gospel is cursed. What is hell? A place of punishment for the devil and his followers, and for those who refuse to repent and instead rebel against God. For the unrepentant (homosexuals, adulterers, and all those who prefer to continue in sin without repenting).
Christ came to redeem us from sin and to call us to repentance so that we may live a life of holiness.
No good father would enter a place where the devil resides—that is, hell—merely to avoid judging, without trying to rescue his child from there. Let's imagine that this young man, in addition to having an immoral sexual life, also uses drugs. What kind of help can be offered to someone who cannot distinguish between right and wrong? That wouldn't be help, but rather complicity.
Prevost is not only an apostate, but also a blasphemer. We know that Jesus descended into the Limbo of the Holy Fathers, a place similar to a prison, not where the damned were, but where those who had died before his coming, those who died waiting for the Messiah, remained captive. He went there to preach the Gospel to them and to set them free.
