ArchivedCalling all Catholics!Aieno Wrote: Purgatory is witnessed to not only in such as 2 Maccabees, which itself witnesses to the belief, but in other pre-Christian Jewish books as well, such as The Life of Adam and Eve, which speaks of Adam being freed from purgatory on the Last Day. It was also part of the true religion in Jesus' day, as the writings of the New Testament show. And it has been part of the true religion ever since Christ's day, as the writings of the Church Fathers show. Not only Catholics believe in this final purification, but the Eastern Orthodox do as well, as do Orthodox Jews. In fact, to this day, when a Jewish person's loved one dies, Jews pray a prayer known as the Mourner's Qaddish for eleven months after the death for the loved one's purification. why would they do this if they dont believe in form of purgatory? Because the doctrine of purgatory was held by pre-Christian Jews, post-Christian Jews, Catholics, and Eastern Orthodox, nobody thought of denying it until the Protestant Reformation, and thus only Protestants deny it today.

If not, then you yourself cannot understand the fullness of bible on your own. Peace |
