Purgatory

What is purgatory? What is its role? This notion, crucial to our life of faith, must be unearthed in our culture. The Catholic doctrine of purgatory is based on a long practice of prayer for the dead, which dates back to the Jewish people before the Christian era. In the light of this legacy and the experience of the saints, this book presents the essential reality of this passage to paradise. Or rather, it shows that if it did not exist, it would have to be invented. It answers current objections without neglecting any important aspect: the Bible and Christian tradition, time and eternity, purification before and after death, prayer for the dead, and the communion of saints. A treatise on purgatory adapted to our time.
