The Church condemns no one and obedience is nothing more than to freely act in faith.
Then why did the various Bulls and Councils specifically state that those who were not in subjection to the Pope and submissive to whatever is deemed de fide could not be saved? Why does the Catechism still state: "When the Church through its supreme Magisterium proposes a doctrine "for belief as being divinely revealed, and as the teaching of Christ, the definitions "must be adhered to with the obedience of faith."? Sorry, but it does not sound like someone "freely acts in faith".
On this subject of Purgatory, the magesterium developed the dogma over centuries taking the musings of various theologians and "fathers" and then went snippet hunting to try to find Scriptures to pass it off as something that is part of the Christian faith. The whole idea would not have passed had the Apostles ever considered it because it flies against the very notion of "absent from the body, present with the Lord" (II Cor. 5:8) as well as the blood of Christ being the propitiation for all sin (I John 2:2; I John 4:10; Romans 3:25; Hebrews 2:17). That word, propitiation, refers back to the Mercy Seat of the Holy of Holies, where the blood was poured for the sins of the people on the Day of Atonement. Back before Christ died, that sacrifice was for a covering of sin (expiation) but Christ's blood made complete and final atonement for sin and it is not covered but removed completely. Sin that has been atoned for does not need any more done for it.
I understand the Catholic viewpoint having to do with "temporal" punishments due for sins we have committed and the idea of consequences for harm we do to others. But as far as God is concerned, the payment for sin is death - blood - and Christ made that payment in our place. The value of making it up to those we have wronged is only helpful in this life - and we SHOULD seek forgiveness from others we have sinned against and make restitution, if possible. But it has no place in life after death for those who are God's. We have no need for cleaning up our souls through some kind of half-way house before we can be allowed into heaven. Through faith in Christ we have been justified and sanctified and we are found IN CHRIST - not having our own righteousness, but GOD'S righteousness THROUGH Christ. (Phil. 3:9)
I'm not trying to be argumentative just for the heck of it, this topic has eternal consequences and it is critical for the sake of the clarity of the Gospel that it not be ignored or allowed to go unchallenged. I would think that after all these years, after all the times this subject has been put out there as a Religion Forum thread and all the follow-up discussions that have gone on, that it should not be any surprise that people will voice their views about it.
