[Mark17]

The notion of Catholic Purgatorty empowers the org. Just look at the means that religion has defined as ways to obviate the purgatory and you see the fiction/mythos is designed to empower their org not the individual, and certainly not glorifying The Lord Christ.

When I was a Catholic, I was told that if I went to mass on 9 first Fridays, and 5 first Saturdays, I could get a soul out of purgatory, and into Heaven. It gave me a feeling of power. I realize now, it is just false doctrine. 😆

Try being a valid TR holding Mormon and get proxy baptized for a lot of folks.

I'll bet that makes the wet ones feel special; too!

Dude...you can't be serious?! This really illustrates that catholicism is a works based belief system.
