Topic: Why do Catholics believe in Purgatory?

Anonymous A started this discussion 5 days ago #125,571

A few verses in Macabees about praying for the dead somehow invented an entire plane of the afterlife?

I guess if Jews interpreted it the same way they’d have a strong argument.

Mythical God means mythical Heaven. No need for purgatory.

I'm assuming the whole underworld/Sheol thing the jews had going had some influence.

Because they used to believe that unbaptized babies and young children went directly to hell when they died

And that idea became very unpopular

"In Christian theology, the salvation of infants has been a matter of speculation and diverse opinions. While some believe that all those who die in infancy are saved, others believe that people only have certainty regarding some of these infants."

It’s really just a matter of opinion because the Bible doesn’t say.

In his Against Julian, however, Augustine said of non-baptized infants, "I cannot define the amount and kind of their punishment"

So they're getting some kind of punishment?

Thanks

Time out in the corner for 5 minutes is a punishment.

Infinity is an amount, zero is an amount. It’s inconclusive.

He literally says he cannot define the amount and kind. There could be some, there could be none.

That's far different than saying there is no punishment

That's because he doesn't know if there is or not.
