"The Last Judgment" (detail)
Fra Angelico, c. 1431 A.D.
One day, St. Macarius found a skull and asked it whose head it had been. "A pagan's!" it replied. "And where is your soul?" he asked. "In Hell!" came the reply. Macarius then asked the skull if its place was very deep in Hell. "As far down as the earth is lower than Heaven!" "And are there any souls lodged even lower?" "Yes! The souls of the Jews!" "And even lower than the Jews?" "Yes! The souls of bad Christians who were redeemed with the blood of Christ and held their privilege so cheaply!"

"Whoever wishes to be saved must, above all, keep the *Catholic faith. For unless a person keeps this faith whole and entire, he will undoubtedly be lost forever."
(From The Athanasian Creed)
