[OLD REGGIE]

"Catholic encyclopedia sounds a lot like the baltimore catechism huh?"

Tip-toe around it all you like and cite any second or third hand interpretation you like. I posted what the actual Catechism of the Catholic Church says about Purgatory. I realize that you failed miserably in your first encounter with the Catechism and that self-catechesis is not very effective, but spouting what you do about it only makes you look goofy and disingenuous.

Strangely, I find more Catechism references to Purgatory than those you posted. If I were a suspicous person it would be easy to suspect a carefully selected portion of the Catechism meant to bolster your position. But, no, that couldn't be possible could it? It would make you look goofy and disingenuous.

"Strangely, I find more Catechism references to Purgatory than those you posted."

The word "purgatory" occurs exactly four times in the Catechism of the Catholic Church but only once in the Baltimore Catechism, but thank you for reinforcing my point that the posting by RnMomof7 was deceptive by its very incompleteness.

You have to admit it is amazing how much truth and beauty even decrepit old anti-Catholic goofballs can find in the full Catechism of the Catholic Church. If my post led you to revisit it I succeeded.
