Not picking a fight.
I do have a question however. How were you able to attend for a year?
When my son in law preached for the first time, I asked my lds aunt and uncle to come hear. My uncle told me he needed permission from his bishop to attend another church, it was not granted.

I have never heard of such a thing, My father was a bishop for most of my teen aged years, he would never have refused permission for someone to attend another church. He would have thought it strange that they asked him.

I suspect that your ant and uncle simply didn't want to say no, so they made it up. Not very good manners nor honest IMHO.

I attended several churches with my friends, several attended mine with me. Maybe it's a Midwest thing, it was totally normal, and it was expected that if you invited someone to church you would go when they asked you to come to theirs.

Again for the record, I attended, and graduated from a Buddhist monastery in Taiwan while on my mission. I did have to have my mission president's permission for that as I was an "official representative of the church". Permission was granted without hesitation.

Now, back to my question...

If Catholic teaching is that Judgment happens immediately upon death, except for people who died before Jesus was resurrected, why and what's the logic / source for that belief?

Just looking for an answer, not a fight. Thanks in advance.
