Purgatory | Catholic Central

What exactly is Purgatory? Contrary to what you may think, it is not the courtroom of the afterlife, or a post-Earth jail where your loved ones can "bail you out" by paying for a stained-glass window. Join Gabby and Nick to discover where Purgatory fits in the Catholic narrative of life after death, and how it leads the faithful departed to perfect love and union with God.

The book of Maccabees is before Jesus. We now live under a new covenant where Jesus paid the full price for us to go directly to heaven.

@carlvaz There's no purgatory as scripture says He will change us in a twinkling of an eye: 1 Cor 15:51-53 KJV Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. Yes, we need to lay down sin in this life, with the help of the Holy Spirit, but He will complete the work. 1 Pe 5:10 KJV But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

I thought there was another video on Purgatory...?

St. Faustina called it a prison of suffering. Jesus talks a lot about prison and not getting out until you have paid the last penny.

Apocalypse 10:6 exludes the purgatory. Augustine of Hippo (354-430) , bishop of Hippo Regius in Numidia and one of the most important Church Fathers of the Latin Church has declared: "Be not mistaken opon the fact that there will exist only two locations: the paradise for the dears and the hell for the sinners. - The purgartory has been introduced between 1170 and 1200, so in the Middle Ages. Up to this age the purgatory has been completely unknown and it will be not only in vain but pointless too to search for biblical justifications.

@enemanozzle, it's important to note that the views on purgatory within the Catholic Church are not solely based on a single biblical verse or the opinions of one Church Father. The doctrine of purgatory has evolved and been shaped over centuries through theological reflection and interpretation of various biblical passages. While Augustine of Hippo is a revered figure in the Church, his writings are not the sole basis for Catholic theology. The concept of purgatory has been developed through the interpretation of multiple biblical passages, including but not limited to passages that speak of purification after death (such as 2 Maccabees 12:46) and the notion that not all sins lead to eternal damnation (Matthew 12:32, 1 Corinthians 3:15). Additionally, the development of certain doctrines, including purgatory, has often involved a deeper understanding and clarification of theological concepts as the Church grapples with various issues. The explicit term "purgatory" may not have been formally introduced until later, but elements of the concept can be traced back to earlier centuries. It's essential to approach theological discussions with an understanding of the broader context, including the development of doctrines over time and the interpretation of various scriptural passages by theologians throughout history. Catholics believe in the concept of purgatory as part of tradition and teaching, and this teaching is not solely dependent on a specific interpretation of a single biblical verse or the views of one Church Father.

@@CatholicCentralVideos Nevertheless is the purgatory incomaptible to Apc 10:6.

[@CatholicCentralVideos]

Hi @enemanozzle , we are not really sure which Bible passage you mean to refer to as Rev 10:6 says "and swore by the one who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and earth and sea and all that is in them, 'There shall be no more delay.'" This verse and what surrounds it really does not support nor refute your argument.

[@enemanozzle]

@@CatholicCentralVideos This translation of the Greek is not correct! The end of Apc 10:6 in Greek: «oti chronos ouketi estin» (= that time will nore more be). --> In the afterlife there will no more exist any time!

[@CatholicCentralVideos]

We do not want to get into a discussion over translations. Regardless of the translation, we still do not see how this one passage denies the existence of purgatory.
