The answer is yes and no. YES, when we die, and NO, while we are living here on earth.<\/p>\n<h3><b>NO PHYSICAL EVIL FROM GOD IN THIS LIFE<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>We know from the 1992 Catechism of the Catholic Church that <b><i>\u201cGod is in no way, directly or indirectly, the cause of moral evil,\u201d<\/i><\/b> (CCC 311) but how about <i>\u201cphysical evil\u201d<\/i> (CCC 311) since it is not as clear. In 2010 Pope Benedict XVI issued a Motu Propio approving the Compendium of the Catechism the Catholic Church as a magisterial teaching document. In the answer to question number 57 this issue is laid to rest.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cTo this question, as painful and mysterious as it is, only the whole of Christian faith can constitute a response. <b>God is not in any way &#8211; directly or indirectly &#8211; the cause of evil.\u201d<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It is the devil who tempts us and punishes with evil while living here on earth. \u201c<i>God does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.\u201d<\/i> (Psalm 103:10) God doesn\u2019t even tempt us as the Catechism explains,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;God cannot be tempted by evil and HE HIMSELF TEMPTS NO ONE; on the contrary, <b>He wants to set us free from evil<\/b>.\u201d (2846)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><b>TRIALS &amp; TESTS<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>God does, however, give us trials, tribulations, and tests to make us better Christians as a good coach exhorts, chastises, and tries his athletes with hard adversities and challenges to make them winners and champions, or as the catechism explains,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe Holy Spirit makes us discern between trials, which are necessary for the growth of the inner man, and temptation, which leads to sin and death.\u201d (CCC 2847)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Contrarily, the devil <i>\u201cis the author or instigator of evil,\u201d<\/i> (CCC 2854) plus he keeps track of our sins since he is<i> \u201cthe accuser of our brothers and sisters, who accuses them before our God day and night.\u201d<\/i> (Rev. 12:10) In other words, the devil is a legalist like the witch of Narnia who demands of Aslan (lion) that she be able to punish and kill Edmond for breaking the law. See YouTube video below. The devil is always demanding of God that he (devil) \u201clegally\u201d be allowed to punish us with evils because we broke one of the Ten Commandments (law), and since, <i>\u201che is a murderer from the beginning.\u201d<\/i> (Jn.8:44)<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"630\" height=\"355\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zgl4tqw2OKs?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>PERMISSION &amp; ALLOWING<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>God allows and gives permission for <i>\u201cphysical evil\u201d<\/i> (California fires, Hurricane Maria, the earthquake in Mexico) or <i>\u201cmoral evil\u201d<\/i> (Las Vegas shooting) <i>\u201cbecause He respects the freedom of His creatures and, mysteriously, knows how to derive good from it,\u201d<\/i> (CCC 311) but \u201cpermission&#8221; needs further clarification.<\/p>\n<p>God gives permission for the devil to punish us with evil because we freely choose to hold hands with the devil in our sin. However, the devil is not God\u2019s rottweiler that He sends after us vindictively to punish us and keep us in line. On the contrary, God is always sending us graces to prevent us from committing sin and entering hell, and God laments as He tells St. Faustina in her diary, <b>\u201cThe loss of EACH soul plunges Me into mortal sadness.\u201d<\/b> [1397]<\/p>\n<p>Permission first unfolds when we commit a venial sin, and it is as if the sharks (evil spirits) begin to make their way to us without attacking. When we commit mortal sin, evil spirits immediately congregate like sharks at the smell of blood in the ocean, and the more blood in the ocean (the more sins) the greater the number of sharks as when Jesus explains,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b>\u201cThen it [devil] goes and takes with it SEVEN other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there.

Here it must be remembered first and foremost that biblical revelation is deeply rooted in history\u2026God chose a people and patiently worked to guide and educate them. Revelation is suited to the cultural and moral level of distant times\u2026such as cheating and trickery, and acts of violence and massacre, without explicitly denouncing the immorality of such things\u2026Rather, we should be aware that the correct interpretation of these passages requires a degree of expertise, acquired through a training that interprets the texts in their historical-literary context and within the Christian perspective&#8230;\u201d [42]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The church\u2019s understanding of the \u201cmystery of evil\u201d is revealed in the 1566 Roman Catechism saying, <i>\u201cI [God] make peace and create evil,\u201d<\/i> to the 1908 Catechism of Saint Pius X stating, <i>\u201cJesus Christ possessed free will, but He could not do evil, since to be able to do evil is a defect, and not a perfection, of liberty.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<h3><b>PUNISHMENT AFTER DEATH<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-491560\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/atxcatholic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Last_Judgement_Michelangelo-550x605.jpg?resize=550%2C605\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"605\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When we die and go before God, we will either go to Heaven, purgatory, or hell.

But sometimes, the obduracy [hardness of heart] in souls is so great that consciously THEY CHOOSE HELL.\u201d [1698]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Jesus also explains how He respects our free will to enter hell and its eternal punishments,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThere are souls who despise My graces as well as all the proofs of My love. They do not wish to hear My call, but proceed into the abyss of hell. The loss of these souls plunges Me into deadly sorrow. God though I am, I cannot help such a soul because it scorns Me; having a free will, it can spurn Me or love Me. You, who are the dispenser of My mercy, tell all the world about My goodness, and thus you will comfort My Heart.\u201d [580]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Of course there are also occasions when souls turn back from the gates of hell where<i>, \u201cMercy triumphs over judgment,\u201d<\/i> (James 2:13) as when Jesus explains to St. Faustina, <b>\u201cBe constantly on the watch, for many souls will turn back from the gates of hell and worship My mercy.\u201d<\/b> [639]<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_491561\" style=\"width: 513px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-491561\" class=\"size-large wp-image-491561\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/atxcatholic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Last_Judgement_by_Leandro_Bassano-BMA-503x700.jpg?resize=503%2C700\" alt=\"\" width=\"503\" height=\"700\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-491561\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Last Judgement by Leandro Bassano<\/p><\/div>\n<h3><b>GOD DOESN\u2019T RETALIATE!<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-231911\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/atxcatholic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Divine-Mercy-Image-550x248.jpeg?resize=550%2C248\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"248\" \/>Finally, if you are still not convinced that <i>\u201cGod is Love,\u201d<\/i> (1Jn.4:8), ask yourself if God has punished you with evil. God is like a parent who even though the parent has the power to kill the child doesn\u2019t because the parent is madly in love with the child, or as Jesus tells St. Faustina, <b>\u201cI desire that you know more profoundly the love that burns in My Heart for souls.\u201d<\/b> [186] Similarly, Pope Frances reiterated three times during the Angelus that God is not vindictive,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Here is the great novelty of Christianity: A God that, although disappointed by our mistakes and our sins, does not fail in His word; He doesn\u2019t stop and, above all, <b>He doesn\u2019t retaliate!<\/b> Brothers and sisters, <b>God doesn\u2019t retaliate!<\/b> God loves, <b>He doesn\u2019t retaliate<\/b>, He waits to forgive us, to embrace us.
