@_BenMyers_ Pope Benedict XIV has an entire section of this in the 3rd his work “on heroic virtue.” it’s a fun read which also talks about divine intention in such a situation, well worth a read.

@NiallLeahy Indeed... it’s apparently tucked away in the back right hand corner of the cave. Devotion to those apparitions, which took place immediately after Bernadette’s apparitions, never gained ecclesiastical approval.

@JustJenisms @Starbucks Hahah hashtags are fun... and the point of the ecumenical thing is that purgatory is this cool Catholic thing that makes a lot of sense in the economy of mercy.


from Twitter https://twitter.com/mrogerssj

@JustJenisms @Starbucks Actually, as a #theologian that studies at an #ecumenical faculty, I really like the idea of #purgatory. #Gods #grace is, of course, sufficient, but the wiggle room for my silly soul that might need to learn how to better receive it is a comforting thought.
