"He then took up a collection among all his soldiers, amounting to two thousand silver drachmas, which he sent to Jerusalem to provide for an expiatory sacrifice. In doing this he acted in a very excellent and noble way, inasmuch as he had the resurrection of the dead in view; for if he were not expecting the fallen to rise again, it would have been useless and foolish to pray for them in death."

Do you and other Catholics believe that?

Is that a Catholic doctrine?

That was one of the things that Luther protested.. The catholic church allowed people to pay funds to the church to buy their way out of purgatory or that of a loved one.. that and selling “relics” was the means of funds to build the Vatican
