[QUOTE="CoronaBorealis, post: 3840122, member: 43847"] To your last sentence, it depends. Sins are either mortal or venial. Mortal sins bring Hell, while venial (minor) sins do not. Those with venial sins will go to Purgatory to do penance for the sins they did not do penance for on Earth, while those with mortal sins go to Hell. Some spend a short time in Purgatory, but others may spend longer. Hell is eternal, though. A note on still having to do penance for sins. My father told me a story to me this last week (we weren't even discussing religion, it just happens to fit this discussion). When he was a teenager, he damaged his dad's car in a minor accident. Then he went on to lie about it. Shortly after, he admitted the truth. His father made him work as a roofer in his company for the rest of the summer. His father forgave him, but a punishment still had to be served for the transgressions. Uh, what? I truly wonder if some of you just make this up as you go to fit your world view. The Catholic Church traces its foundation to Christ naming Peter the head of his Church. We are, indeed, a Christian religion. I would lend to bet that most of the "anti-Catholics" on this board know nothing more of the Catholic Church than what they have heard from other people, not what they have actually researched themselves. I was raised non-denominational Protestant when I was a kid. I went on a religious journey during college and when I began reading the Catholic Catechism, every point made complete sense. My journey ended. If anyone wants to debate on Catholic theology I'd be glad to do it via private message. [/QUOTE]
