Seems like it’s time to hit two more of the 95 Theses.

16. Hell, purgatory, and heaven seem to differ as do despair, almost-despair, and the assurance of safety.

Unlike his later position and that of his followers, Luther here acknowledges the reality of purgatory. I’d suggest that there are better comparisons for hell, purgatory and heaven, of course. I particularly like the quote from Cardinal Ratzinger that purgatory is an especially intense experience of Christ’s love.

17. With souls in purgatory it seems necessary that horror should grow less and love increase.

Yes it does seem that way. It may very well be that way. There’s a bit of difficulty in discussing it, though, as we haven’t the intellectual capacity or data to say much of absolute certainty about it. We can only go by what we’ve learned from the Tradition of the Church. Of course that means Sola Scriptura has to go out the window. (Oh, that's right. It hadn't been invented yet at the time of the 95 Theses -- well, except in Islam.)

May God grant me the grace to be attentive to the needs the poor souls in purgatory. May the separated brethren be brought back into the fullness of truth, full fellowship with the Vicar of Christ and the full Communion of Saints!
