Tip-Toeing Around The Elephant In The Living Room With Regard To Margo Naranjo's Situation

Below is a video of Bishop Strickland and John-Henry Westen discussing the Margo Naranjo matter.  At last we hear a bishop broaching this topic. While this interview is good in many respects, I believe these gentlemen are allowing an inferior concept of "love and compassion" to dissuade them from discussing a crucial aspect. That aspect is the danger of hell and eternal damnation, with which those parents flirted when they planned to murder their daughter. It is false compassion not to broach that stark reality, one with eternal consequences. 

Can we say for certain that they would go to hell? Of course not. But by the same token we cannot presume that they wouldn't go there, especially when what they contemplated (and may still be planning) is a mortal sin.  Many commentators seem to be falling all over themselves to avoid discussion about sin in this situation.  In reality, they don't serve any good purpose by doing so.
