nigga, I have to deal with such a dark day praying and I get these children asking for things

oh yeah almost forgot about that

@Mac tíre iarain Limbo was the place all of the Godly people went until Jesus descended into Limbo and opened the gates of Heaven to them. In essence, it doesn't really exist anymore because the gates of Heaven are open to all, since Jesus' proclamation. Purgatory is where souls go to be purified before they are ascended to Heaven. Difference is; Limbo was where purified souls couldn't go into Heaven, Purgatory is where unpurified souls are cleansed before they go to Heaven

^

Which means the souls in Limbo made it to Heaven

Ah nice

@Deleted User so do we all go through purgatory or how do we cleanse our souls?

I believe so, yes, unless you die in Grace

The promise of the Scapular is that if you die with it and in a state of Grace, you go directly to Heaven

_it's free real state_

I couldn't tell you @Mac tíre iarain

@Mac tíre iarain purgatory isnt necesarily a bad thing but its like a court hearing that is usually in your favor. Unless youve been bad all your life.

like lukewarm and all that.

Purgatory ain't gonna tickle

I highly recommend hearing what Catholic Answer has to say on purgatory. Im horrible at explaining things.

Purgatory isn't a "court hearing", as it were.

It's not a bad thing though

When you die, you are judged. It is then that you will either go to Heaven, Hell, or Purgatory.

If you have showed heroic virtue in your life, you will probably go straight to Heaven.

And we all know why folks go to Hell.

As for purgatory, if we still have the stain of venial sins, we will be cleansed of them in Purgatory before going to Heaven.

Purged of your sins.

Not mortal sins though

Those send your ass to hell

Likely so.

But, there are occasions where our Lord brings forth his infinite mercy.

Those occasions are few and far in between, though.

So if I confess my mortal sins before I die am I good?

Yes

yup

those after your baptism

But.

If you would repeat those same sins consciously after you confessed them the first time... are you truly contrite?

We are fallen beings, and God is well aware of this. When you confess, I am quite sure you have absolutely no intention of sinning again, and, in spite of that, you obviously do.

7 times 70 times more

if youre doing it to spite God, you got another thing coming.

Your confession is centred mainly around your intention. Might you commit a certain sin in future? There is no way of telling. Do you, however, have any intention of committing that sin again? Likely not.

The priest giving the sermon at my parish for All Souls Day last year said, rather accurately, that Purgatory is the most joyous place in the entire universe outside of Heaven. His reason for saying so was that everybody in Purgatory has been guaranteed their place in Heaven once they have eventually been purged of their sins.

@Mozalbete ⳩ thoughts? Or has it been explained pretty well?

If you repented and had no plans to repeat the sin, of course you are contrite

I don't get where people get this idea that if you repeat a sin you never repented in the first time, which contradicts scripture, the Fathers, the saints, and pretty much all of Christianity
