What does Catholic teaching/theology say, perhaps with scriptural support, about familial relations in hell?
Will the presence of those who were family members on earth aggravate or alleviate the sufferings of other family members in hell?
*If I were condemned to hell and God forbid, I met dad, mom, and my brothers and sister, i.e., people I loved on earth, will this give me any kind of comfort? Will I be "happy" to be with them and they with me? Will we "enjoy" each other's company?*
