Beschreibung

After purgatory was proclaimed an official doctrine of the Catholic Church in the thirteenth century, its location became a topic of heated debate and philosophical speculation. Over the centuries, the debate surrounding purgatory has never ended: even today members of post-millennial ''purgatory apostolates'' maintain that purgatory is an actual, physical place.
