II. To Judge the Living and the Dead

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

679
Christ is Lord of eternal life. Full right to pass definitive judgement on the
works and hearts of men belongs to him as redeemer of the world. He
“acquired” this right by his cross. the Father has given “all
judgement to the Son”.⁵⁸⁶ Yet the Son did not come to judge, but
to save and to give the life he has in himself.⁵⁸⁷ By rejecting grace
in this life, one already judges oneself, receives according to one’s works,
and can even condemn oneself for all eternity by rejecting the Spirit of love.⁵⁸⁸
