No man will want to go to heaven if heaven is a place where we have to stand on needle-points before the Universal Emperor. Which soldier would like to always be in the presence of his commanding officer?
John Senior (in The Death of Christian Culture) replies:
The answer is, of course, the good soldier, and certainly the Jesuit soldier of Christ - custody of the heart, as St. Ignatius explains, is precisely standing, "always in the presence" of the Universal Emperor.
And to which I might add that the ex-seminarian seems to have a distorted view of God and fatherhood in general.
