There are good reasons they don’t teach it, since it generally quickly leads to universalism without some other theology backing it up, and certain (rather than hopeful) universalism is a heresy.
But most of the time they’re just trying to instill the sad grimdark Irish Catholic thing where you must be sad and guilty all the time because the British spent 200 years preventing you from going to mass.
I also want to add that I have any number of issues with “normal” catholic doctrine. Church is fucked and needs a full clean out and reset. I’m just trying to give the centrist doctrine a fair shake.
