Jake Huether Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 Just to clarify - the purification of the Elect in purgatory is made possible only by the super-abundant merits of the Blood of Jesus Christ, right? I'm still having trouble getting my head around this whole doctrine of purgatory. I'm not saying I dont beleive in it, its just that that belief isin't as well formed as my belief in Heaven and Hell. Call it the "leftovers" from Evangelicalism. We are the Body of Christ! It is through the Blood of Jesus Christ, but we help to perpetuate his flowing blood, the blood by which they are forgiven, by the continual offering of the Mass and the offering of our sufferings. It is amazing! We are the Body of Christ! Not figuratively, REALLY! Check out my thread, "the Body of Christ". Indulgences are closely related to this topic.
