dUSt Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Who knew the best explanation of Purgatory would come from The Sopranos: Paulie: You didn't go to hell. You went to purgatory, my friend. Christopher: I forgot about purgatory. Paulie: Purgatory--a little detour on the way to paradise. Christopher: How long do you think we've got to stay there? Paulie: That's different for everybody. You add up all your mortal sins and multiply that number by 50. Then you add up all your venial sins and multiply that by 25. You add that together and that's your sentence. I figure I'm gonna have to do 6,000 years before I get accepted into heaven and 6,000 years is nothin' in eternity terms. I can do that standing on my head. It's like a couple of days here.

Jaime Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Mortal sin is a radical possibility of human freedom, as is love itself. It results in the loss of charity and the privation of sanctifying grace, that is, of the state of grace. If it is not redeemed by repentance and God’s forgiveness, it causes exclusion from Christ’s kingdom and the eternal death of hell, for our freedom has the power to make choices for ever, with no turning back. But what the hell do I know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didacus Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Jaime, Even though what you say is true, I'll stick with purgatory at this end. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
