QUESTION?

Is God "Present" in Hell? 

ANSWER!

The Catechism of the Council of Trent quotes a passage from the Psalms which says that God is “present” in Hell, or as the Greek says “Sheol”…

Psalms 139:7-10 Douay Rheims Bible]  (7) Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy face?  (8)  If I ascend into heaven, thou art there: if I descend into hell, thou art present.  (9)  If I take my wings early in the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea:  (10)  Even there also shall thy hand lead me: and thy right hand shall hold me.

Dr. Robert. Sungenis: God is everywhere, even in Hell, in his omnipresence. But he is only there in his divine being, not his divine care. When we speak about the "absence" of God we are speaking about the absence of his divine care. God does not care any longer for the souls in hell. http://www.catholicintl.com/qa/qa.htm
