I note here that the CATHOLICS are arguing with me, as I said they would, because I am saying that all of the wedding cakes of logic built up in the middle ages about Purgatory versus Hell, etc., are all unneccessary embellishments: Jesus said Purgatory IS Hell, with just that one word: Gehenna.

*LOL I am saying your opinion of Christian Doctrine as explicated by the Catholic Church is flat out laugh out loud funny.

As a Catholic, I'll take the Church and let you take the cake :)

Glad to provide you with a source of humor.

And if you had any authority whatever in the Catholic Church, you could then proceed to discipline me, if I gave any cause to (which I didn't). However, as it stands, you and I are both laymen with precisely the same lack of authority.

Therefore if convoluted and lengthy medieval writings convince you more than a single word of Jesus, who am I to say you are wrong?

I have merely repeated a single word of Jesus, and repeated it's Jewish definition, which answers the issue completely.

You are apparently taking issue over authority, and pitting Innocent IV versus Jesus. Considering that they said almost the same thing on the subject (although Jesus said it better) there isn't a conflict over anything but style.
