Then enlighten me.....

Forgive me. I do not think you really want to know what we teach.

Purgatory is paying for sins by fire, is it not?

I would not say so. People say that, but when I talk to them in depth, that's not really what they mean.

Purgatorhy IMHO, is more like therapy.

I cannot recommend Dante's Commedia enough. I found Purgatory -- and continue to find it -- truly beautiful.

For someone unfamiliar with Catholic thought, the Penguin Edition, translated by Dorothy Sayers AND with extensive notes, essays, etc. is the best way to begin. And even if ou decide in advance not to think any part of it might have anything of importance to say to you, I cannot think how an educated person East of Japan and west of the Hindu Kush could think his education complete without having enjoyed one the greatest poems ever written,

Have you ever had physical therapy for an injury?
