Harleyman Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I'm just curious we never really here about it. According to mythology and trust me it is mythology, purgatory was a place that souls went to who had not been completely good in life but on the other hand not deserving of hell either. Purgatory was a stage where they would have a mild taste of hell but a chance to redeem themselves at some later time and ascend to heaven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fake Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 LOL what is purgatory though?. I was told it was a place a few miles from limbo and on the left. Its difficult to get to because of the double parked Pope-Mobiles lining the route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RootsBooster Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I think purgatory, heaven and hell are visually well depicted in this film, "In what dreams may come" This is only a trailer but if I remember right, according to it, you generate your own heaven/hell/purgatory based on your own likes/dislikes.

Rich Siddall Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Its a Catholic Church invention, the more money or service you give them the less time you spend there, its another form of control they thought up to keep people in their place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeX Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 having spoken at length with one of the sheffield catholic priests on what is purgatory i'll tell you what I know. no one on here has it right, purgatory is not for the "not so bad but not so good" people. purgatory is a place where the soul is purified before entering heaven. in accordance with christian doctrine, we are all sinners and are unable to enter the kingdom of heaven until we have been purified of sin. this is where purgatory comes into play. we all go through purgatory to get to heaven, just some spend longer there than others as they are laden with more sin. it is often depicted as fire, but this is not to be confused with hell as the fire is the cleansing fire, not torment.

Flowersfade Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 So only Christianity mentions purgatory? No other faiths believe in it?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
