Why don’t you non-Catholics realize that these souls are alive. The body dies, but the soul lives. The body will be united with the soul at the Final Judgment??
Please educate yourself about this — and pray for those who have died.

Of course we realize that. It’s just not relevant. We are still forbidden from communing with the dead (meaning those who have physically died), whether or not their souls live on somewhere. Anyone trying to communicate with them is sinning very seriously, no matter what the man-made dogma of your church says.
Yes, the soul lives, in heaven or hell. You also get a new body, the old is gone. There’s so much about catholic doctrine that is no where in scripture, that one can only come to one conclusion. Like any other world religion, they need the redemption of the blood of the lamb.
We Protestants believe the souls are alive.
We just don’t believe that they communicate with the living.
First off, the deception is yours to believe...You couldn't find a purgatory in the bible if you summoned up Sherlock Holmes to help you...
And secondly, there are no souls wandering the earth...If you see something, you probably do see something but it's not what you seem to think it is...
If I attended a church where the pastor talked like this guy, I get out of there as fast as these Red Ball Jets would take me...
