Yeah but isn’t it pretty difficult to have perpetual virginity after giving birth to mulitple children from Joseph and not God? I mean I am not saying anything about the miracle of the virgin birth I just don’t get the perpetual thing.

But if St. Mary did not give birth to other children after Jesus (as Catholics and Eastern Orthodox traditionally believe, with even Luther and Calvin accepting the doctrine), her virginity was never lost.

Interesting…what is the actual definition of purgatory? I thought purgatory was a place where people got stuck between heaven and hell and the family had to pay to get them out?

According to Saint Paul, the greatest of the theological virtues is charity.

Please consider this following real life application to defend the concept of Purgatory:

When a person knows Jesus Christ is God and Roman Catholicism is the fullness of Truth regarding His Church, s/he will be faced with the difficult task of choosing to and following Christ through the Cross, the Greatest Commandments, and His Church’s Sacraments. During this purification process, there is great struggle in killing all selfish desires and giving life to the desires and experiences of happiness and unbreakable peace for all relationships, as well as the self, through the powers of perfect patience, kindness, and motivation.
