Thy Geekdom Come Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 The souls in purgatory are souls separated from bodies. The sacramental spiritual-corporeal nature of the Eucharist seems inconsistent with that state. While anything is possible for God, I think it unlikely. However, the question does show an appreciation for the fact that those in purgatory are not yet enjoying the Beatific Vision, which is the fulfillment of the Eucharist. Very interesting, but the Church has no teaching on the matter and I doubt it would ever become anything more than a point of conjecture. God bless, Micah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
