“Once evil has come into the world, death is seen as a kind of blessing, for if there was no death, evil could go on forever.  That is why God stationed an angel with a flaming sword at the Gate of Paradise, lest fallen man, eating of the tree of immortality, should immortalize his evil.  But, because of death, evil cannot carry on its wickedness indefinitely.”  Archbishop Fulton Sheen (Peace of Soul)
