[Antoninus]

The passage says that there is a sin that will not be forgiven (against The Holy Spirit) in this world or the world to come. The Romish mind sees an escape clause there, as if there will be sins forgiven in the world to come.

This is how Saint Gregory the Great interpreted the passage in question. I accept his interpretation as having superior authority compared to the novel interpretations of the "reformers" who came 1,000 years later and were in service to European political agendas that did not exist in Gregory's time.

Upon what passages in scripture does your pope Gregory create the purgatory proposal? You say you are taking his interpretation, so which Bible passages is he interpreting?
