Paragraph 1. CHRIST DESCENDED INTO HELL

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

632
The frequent New Testament affirmations that Jesus was “raised from the
dead” presuppose that the crucified one sojourned in the realm of the dead
prior to his resurrection.⁴⁷⁷ This was the first meaning given in the
apostolic preaching to Christ’s descent into hell: that Jesus, like all men,
experienced death and in his soul joined the others in the realm of the dead.
But he descended there as Saviour, proclaiming the Good News to the spirits
imprisoned there.⁴⁷⁸
