- We look at the modern attitude towards purgatory - at the church militant, the church incumbent and church triumphant - and a common misconception about who qualifies as a saint.
While this slightly teeters on the brink of my "no proselytising" rule - its just too fascinating to leave on the cutting room floor.
Thanks again to Father Sam and Jackie.
See the main video here • John the Baptist, Chip...
Super interesting!
Thanks - lots I didn't know I didn't know.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches regarding the topic of Purgatory as:
1030 All who die in God's grace and friendship, but still imperfectly purified, are indeed assured of their eternal salvation; but after death they undergo purification, so as to achieve the holiness necessary to enter the joy of heaven.
Now we can also understand Purgatory from a natural point of view. If we bring to mind the time when we, as children were disciplined. It didn't feel good at the time, but gradually we got accustomed to it and certainly allowed us to remain grateful, relaxed and consistent to our duties in life.
The Catholic understanding of freedom is the pursuit of Virtue. But that has to go through trials (fire).
A Biblical overview: St. Matthew 11:28 because St. Matthew 16:25. You therefore have to (first, St. Matthew 6:27) Romans 8:13 and Colossians 3:5 (these are Galatians 5:19-21) because Apocalypse 3:3, Apocalypse 21:27, but by doing these St. John 10:10.
And that's why St. Matthew 7:13-14.
Might be useful to read also Corinthians 3:11-15, 2 Timothy 1:18, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-15.
Thanks for such a detailed reply. I have to read around the subject area when making these videos - so inadvertent mistakes are minimised. I've looked as some of those passages - but definitely not all.
For me - I like the Purgatory described in Iain M Bank's novel Surface Detail en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_Detail - and I particularly like how it ends.
I also like Larry Niven's Inferno en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferno_(Niven_and_Pournelle_novel)
that also ends well.
I always find it funny when people say purgatory was a medieval invention. This is despite the fact the only vaguelly hell like language St paul used was in I Corinthians 3:13-15
"each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is. If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. [15] If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire."
Which seems like purgatory to me. Though i may be biased being a purgatorial universalist.
Interesting - hopefully this article is accurate en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_universalism ?
The hell of purgatorial universalist does seem more than slightly less awful - but it's still awful (in the sense of - not a good parenting technique) .
