Chapter 9 — Part I: The Creed — Article VII: From Thence He Shall Come to Judge the Living and the Dead
Section 21. The first words, depart from me, express the heaviest punishment with which the wicked shall be visited, their eternal banishment from the sight of God, unrelieved by one consolatory hope of ever recovering so great a good. This punishment is called by theologians the pain of loss, because in hell the wicked shall be deprived forever of the light of the vision of God.
