We spoke to Dr. Paul Thigpen, whose latest book is about saints who saw visions of hell.  Since the Early Church, Catholic saints and other visionaries have reported horrific scenes of eternal punishment. Dozens of saints throughout history have described the terrors of hell and relayed horror of being separated from God for eternity, so that we may see for ourselves and repent. A convert to Catholicism, Paul has served the Church as an author, an award-winning journalist, historian, apologist, catechist, and member of the National Advisory Council of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.
