1495. There is a place at the left of Gehenna, which also extends beneath it according to the gravity of the punishments, where there are nothing but great dreadful serpents with capacious bellies. The punishments of those who thus breathe vengefulness, even to the utter destruction of the souls of men thus condemning them to hell, takes place beneath Gehenna. For this is a most dreadful thing. Whatever a person's religion may be a man nevertheless should never condemn anyone to hell because he dissents from others, for this breathes the most atrocious revenge, and thus brings the most atrocious punishment. The Lord loves all men in the world, whosoever they be, for He has delivered them from hell. Therefore to exercise such hatred against men as to condemn them to hell, especially when this hatred and revenge are inspired from worldly causes, brings with it such a punishment that they are carried away under Gehenna.
