I wish you a speedy recovery from the flu. I will catch up on your posts and do them more justice later. Please do realize that when you post so many long quotes and extensive links, it takes time to work through them all and address them adequately--I take them seriously so I take the time to look things up and pray over and review the Scriptures cited. I will mention that I did look at that Le Goff book on purgatory you cited last night and it was a useful reference--thank you for mentioning it. I will respond more later, God-willing.
Thanks. "Faint, yet pursuing." (Judges 8:4)
