Purgatory? You have to be kidding. How does Purgatory contradict Scripture? The concept of purgatory, like the concept of the Trinity though not explicitly mentioned is most certainly inferred. A simple reading of 1 Peter 3:19 refers to a third place, a prison for souls. Since there is a purgatory, than praying for the souls in purgatory is hardly anti-Scriptural. This would be evident to you were you not working from an abridged version of the Bible and could read 2 Maccabeus 12:46

Havoc the rest of your "evidence" has nothing to do with the Magisterium and Holy Traditions of the church. I could point to a rather long list of goofy disciplinary practices common among some neo-Christians like no dancing and no drinking.

Have you come up with a definition of sola scriptura yet?
