Do you believe that purgatory is a place of suffering?

Purgatory is a place (or state) where we are exposed for who we are. As our pitiful attempts to live righteously are exposed to the bliding Light of Christ, as our selfishness, our bad habits, our chronic sinfulness is peeled away to reveal the true adopted Son of God which we were always destined to be, there is a mental anguish.

Purgatory is also a place of great joy. While the process of being scrubbed might hurt, there is a joy in knowing that we are only steps away from eternal bliss.

I find this so amazing...nothing I was taught in the catholic school seems to be right. How can you guys trust a religion that either 1. has to be very very bad at teaching their doctrine. or 2. changes it as they go along. It has to be one or the other.
