You said it is just now, but before that you said it wasn't and for that reason I wouldn't be satisfied. That mention of Gregory in the Catechism only mentions that purgatory will forgive. That can mean what I've read before that temporal aspects of one's sins are what are forgiven.[/quote]
Since it is in the Catechism (the "sure norm" as John Paul II said in his promulgation of it) it should be assented to. It appears to me that St. Gregory is talking about more than temporal punishment. Read the quotation again and see what you think. God bless!
