Can Cecile Richards Live With All the Ghosts?
By John Zmirak
So what do you do if you’re Cecile Richards? Are there second acts in American death? Or rather, the death biz, since Ms. Richards is certainly breathing. As to whether she is alive … well you’d have to ask her. There’s no guarantee that she’d know. Or that she’d even admit to understanding the question.
In his Inferno, Dante theorized that some people were so wicked that even though their bodies still walked the earth, their souls were already in hell. I don’t think he meant that literally. It was a poetic way of showing the converse of the classical Christian doctrine, that salvation and the Kingdom begin not in the next life, but in this one. If the elect are in some sense already enjoying their reward, then why not imagine that the reprobate are also receiving theirs?
That death, the second death, begins in this world. We edge toward it whenever we reject God’s own creation, especially when we call Him, in fact, a liar, by saying that it is not “good.” Because that is how He judged it when He was finished.
