The Catholic Crusade

What is meant by the final purification?

Purgatory is one doctrine that gets a lot of criticism from non-Catholic Christians, and confuses Catholics too. What’s the deal with it?! Why do we need it, and where did it come from?

This excellent video from Fr. Mike Schmitz at Ascension Presents cuts through the misconceptions surrounding Purgatory. He explains the purpose of Purgatory, shares the Biblical evidence for it, and offers the reason why

purification is required even if we die in a state of grace.

Fr. Schmitz answers the burning issue of “Didn’t Jesus pay the final price for our sins?” and addresses how and why we should pray for the dead.

As it turns out, Purgatory is pretty simple, but even better, it’s a gift from a loving and merciful God. As C.S Lewis said, “Our souls demand purgatory!”
