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."
What sayest thou?
A place to ask and discuss the tough questions of faith
Welcome!
As parish priests we get all kinds of questions about faith. Some may be easily answered, but the majority are often very difficult, and we may often feel as if the answers we give are inadequate. Such is the nature of God's revelation to us and the Mysteries of faith. And so this website is a place to ask these questions and for everyone to contribute with both questions and answers. "What sayest thou?" Ask, answer, and enjoy!
