Abstract:
What is the relation between love and justice? In God, love and justice are in perfect harmony.
In humans, this harmony depreciates as a result of the sins committed by them. Christ restores
harmony between love and justice by tying them to a common element: sacrifice. The Church
continues Christ’s work and, through all its Mysteries, especially Confession and Liturgy, it
searches to raise man to a sacrificial statute, which leads to a harmonisation in love and justice.
Apocatastasis and inquisition are the extremes people fell in by the exaggeration of love and
justice.
CONTRIBUTION : Some theologians say that God is more loving than righteous. Others say the
opposite. The answer is that in God, love and justice are in absolute harmony. In humans, love
and justice are inequitable. Christ restores this lost harmony through a common element:
sacrifice. The Day of Judgement will show how much people harmonised love and justice,
through Christian sacrifice.
