In Purgatory we experience what our victims on Earth experienced
Response to comment [from a Catholic]: "In Purgatory we experience what our victims on Earth experienced."
Do you make it up as you go along?
There is no Purgatory.
[The Pope and the Papacy Grace to You] "...Motivated by money, [the
Roman Catholic Church] has invented Purgatory. And by the way, Purgatory
is what makes the whole system work. Take out Purgatory and it's a hard
sell to be a Catholic. People hang in there because of the deception of
Purgatory. Purgatory is the safety net, when you die, you don't go to
hell. You go there and get things sorted out and finally get to heaven
if you've been a good Catholic. Take away that safety net, that's a hard
sell because in the Catholic system you can never know you're saved, you
can never know you're going to heaven. You just keep trying and trying,
as the priest said on the television program the other night, we are all
engaged in a long journey toward perfection. Well if you're engaged in a
long journey toward perfection, it's pretty discouraging. People in that
system, guilt-ridden, fear-ridden, no knowledge of whether or not
they're going to get into the Kingdom, the threat of a mortal sin which
throws you back out again. And the only thing that makes it work is
Purgatory. If there's no Purgatory, there's no safety net to catch me
and give me some opportunity to get into heaven. It's a second change,
it's another chance after death. I can't buy into this. So they had to
invent Purgatory. It's just too much without it.
The harm of indulgences, selling forgiveness for money. The false gospel
of works. You participate in your salvation by your good works. The
abomination of idols and relics, prayers for the dead, the perversion of
forced celibacy. And so it goes..." Full text:
