Purgatory
by Rev. Francois Xavier Schouppe
'Purgatory' Summary
Rev. François Xavier Schouppe's 'Purgatory' presents a comprehensive view of the Catholic understanding of the afterlife, specifically focusing on the state of Purgatory. The book describes Purgatory as a temporary place of purification for those who have died in a state of grace but require further cleansing before entering Heaven. Schouppe delves into the nature of Purgatory, outlining the types of pain and suffering experienced by souls there. He also explores the role of prayer, almsgiving, and Masses in expediting the purification process. The book relies heavily on accounts from Saints, claiming to offer firsthand testimonies about their experiences in Purgatory. These accounts, while presented as factual, should be understood as devotional narratives rather than literal historical accounts. The primary purpose of the book is to present a theological explanation of Purgatory and to encourage readers to consider the implications of this doctrine for their lives, particularly in relation to their relationship with God, the departed, and the practice of prayer.Book Details
