Yep. and in what way do they support the notion of a purgatory?
In the same way that the gross phenomena of nature support Newton’s Laws.
I have NEVER seen an object change direction and speed in direct proportion to the force exerted on it. I have never seen a moving object remain in motion at the same speed and direction for very long. When we constructed a mass balance at college to see if we could confirm the third law, we got approximate confirmation, but it was only approximate.
Yet Newton explains what I see better than anybody else. I have to look really closely to see that Einstein is more correct, but even there, I never get FULL confirmation.
Similarly, what I see in Scripture is best explained by what the Catholic Church teaches, AND it does not frustrate reason. And when I add my experience and observations of grace in people’s lives, the adequacy and elegance of the Catholic account impresses me even more.
