What did these folks ‘witness”? Did they follow the souls of the freshly dead to the “gates of Purgatory”?
Funny how the Blood of Jesus can wash away all our sins, past/present/future, and make us pure in the eyes of the Lord, but leaves some residual stains that must be cleansed before we can meet our God who pre-purified us...what are we, dirty socks?
...or just sock puppets?
