Robert Haddad (RC), “Are there different levels of glory in Heaven?”

Robert Haddad, a Catholic apologist from Australia, just uploaded a video where he not only argues for differing levels of reward in heaven, there are different levels of glory therein:

 

Are there different levels of glory in Heaven?




 

Haddad seems to believe that “third heaven” (2 Cor 12:2) is to be understood as a third level of heaven itself, and should not be understood as some want it desperately to mean (i.e., “first heaven” being the sky and “second heaven” as the stars/universe”).
