Painful price of a place in heaven
He may have found that, though he entered heaven, he endured and may still be enduring purification to enjoy its fullness.
His victims including his family and fellow clergy may derive some consolation from the possibility that that purification may have been, and may still be, more painful than the pain they endured and may still endure. It may also be more painful than what he could have endured in prison for a few years and for decades afterwards.
