Doctrine F14

See F14 reasoning.

F14 S1: On the Resurrection of the Dead 14, 18 — all rise; receive good or bad

• Source: https://www.newadvent.org/fathers/0206.htm (public-domain English translation)
• Text: “although all human beings who die rise again, yet not all who rise again are to be judged: for if only a just judgment were the cause of the resurrection, it would of course follow that those who had done neither evil nor good — namely, very young children — would not rise again; but seeing that all are to rise again …” And (ch. 18): “those who were dead, having been made alive by the resurrection, and the parts that were separated and entirely dissolved having been again united, each one may, in accordance with justice, receive what he has done by the body, whether it be good or bad.”
• Context: Universal bodily resurrection; recompense for deeds done in the body, whether good or bad. Infants rise though not all rise for the same judicial cause. Nature and duration of final punishment are T10; judgement criterion is F13.3.
• Bears on: F14.3
