Hell and purgatory, the resting places of all souls that are not taken up into heaven. Hell in its strict sense is the place of punishment for the damned, be they demons or men. Purgatory by contrast is where the just, who die in venial sin or who still owe a debt of temporal punishment for sin, are cleansed by suffering before their admission to heaven. This is a collection of two books by Fr. F. X. Schouppe, "The Dogma of Hell" and "Purgatory." Both of these books are illustrated by the lives and legends of the saints. In these books he explores the topics fully by recounting well known stories in the church. An engaging classic that will help the reader better connect with his faith and the saints of the Church. This ebook version is cross-linked to the Douay-Rheims Bible for easy reference.
