Weakland was sent packing to remain forever in Milwaukee as an archbishop and Affliction

Edited for the WHOLE truth.

Do you have any information about the archbishop who Weakland replaced? Weakland was really an affliction!!

I remember learning in a catechism class (pre-council)that purgatory likely was experienced in either or,and sometimes both,the temporal and supernatural worlds. The instructor said that a Just God would not reward two people,one who always successfully resisted temptation and one who fell often but repented,confessed and was forgiven,in the same manner. Cleansing or purging is/was required for the many sins committed,even though forgiven,to assure perfect justice was effected.

I recall hearing that many people who had suffered so very much in WWII probably had served their purgatory and upon death went to God. I always found that comforting.

Perhaps,if you and I go directly to heaven,we will be grateful for Weakland and O'Brien's reigns.
