THE LESSON here is that we should not judge others unnecessarily. Those who know Marlyn Monroe would think she must have landed in hell. At a time when dresses below the knee was norm and nakedness was extreme shock, she had posed naked. Then she was said to have been lover to then already married US Pres. John F. Kennedy. Then cap that with her suicide.
But in Catholic writer Nicky Eltz’s interview with holy mystic Maria Simma (1915-2004), he gathered from her that Monroe was already in Heaven.
And this also from Maria: Hitler’s Marshall Hermann Goring, too.
The shock of these revelations is that at the time these two notorious souls were already in Heaven, Pope Paul IV (as distinguished from Paul VI), was still in Purgatory.
Read Maria Simma as follows, verbatim:
“Famous people have been delivered because their relatives came to me for help in this area. For instance, Marshal Hermann Göring of Nazi infamy appeared to me because his family had come to me for assistance. He is now in Heaven. God loved and still loves him, and we may never judge.
“Then others too. Once a man came to me where I immediately knew that he was important by the way he held himself and by his clothes, although I could not tell from where he came or when he had lived.
“When I asked what it was that he needed from me, he told me and then added, “I am Pope Paul.” I first hesitated, thinking this might be a satanic trick. ‘No, you’re not, I said. ‘I knew Pope Paul and you’re NOT Pope Paul!’ – ‘I am Pope Paul IV, not Pope Paul VI.’
“He’d been in Purgatory since the mid-16th Century because during his Pontificate he could have done a lot more than he did. I also believe that he had ordered the Jews of Rome into ghettos, which certainly was not in God’s plan for him to do. But in his case, of course, it was not his descendants who came to me to ask about him. (laughter).
“So here we have a renowned Nazi who spent far less time in Purgatory than did a Pope. Some would then say it’s better to be a Nazi than a Priest, Bishop or even a Pope. Goodness no! This difference in the amount of reparation needed, occurred because the Pope had been given much more of the truth about God than Hermann Göring had.
“And then Fr. Matt told me that Göring had been duped into that horrid situation with relatively few protective weapons at his disposal. God’s equally infinite love and justice then balanced these differences out; and now both these men are in Heaven with Him, but certainly not at the same level.”
