I’m sorry - I’m not sure I understand your request. You want me to explain my thoughts on purgatory? If that is so, I am happy to do so - if I am mistaken, please, correct me, as I’d hate to sidetrack this conversation we are having. Thanks!
My apologies. Yes, tell me about your thoughts (or perhaps your understanding of the “official” view) on purgatory. The connection here is that there are apparently, according to RCC teaching, some departed believers that are being held in purgatory for an unspecified period. There are also those who have gone on to heaven, with Christ.
Is Mary in heaven or purgatory? Are others you would “speak” to (as opposed to “pray” to) also in purgatory or must it only be to those in heaven?
And I am still thinking about the angels matter.
But, if you don’t mind, your comments would not sidetrack this conversation. And, there are no trick questions here. Unfortunately, I must leave for the evening, but I’ll check back tomorrow to see what you think. Grace be with you.
