Paragraph 1. CHRIST DESCENDED INTO HELL
635
Christ went down into the depths of death so that “the dead will hear the
voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.”484 Jesus,
“the Author of life”, by dying destroyed “him who has the power
of death, that is, the devil, and [delivered] all those who through fear of
death were subject to lifelong bondage.”485 Henceforth the risen
Christ holds “the keys of Death and Hades”, so that “at the name
of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth.”486
