On Purgatory

In his book, The Sacrament of the Altar, W.C.E. Newbolt discusses the state of the human soul after death, prayer for those souls, and purgatory as a state of penal torment. In a very interesting statement he writes: "We must lay firm hold of the truth that there is no further probation. If the sinner might then have a fresh chance of grace, the saint also might have a fresh chance of perdition."
