Whether the blessed pity the unhappiness of the damned?

❌ Objection 1 : It would seem that the blessed pity the unhappiness of the damned. For pity proceeds from charity [*Cf. SS, Question [30]]; and charity will be most perfect in the blessed. Therefore they will most especially pity the sufferings of the damned.

❌ Objection 2 : Further, the blessed will never be so far from taking pity as God is. Yet in a sense God compassionates our afflictions, wherefore He is said to be merciful.
