PART I.
DOCTRINAL AND DEVOTIONAL.
"But now, brethren, if I come to you, speaking with tongues: what shall
I profit you, unless I speak to you either in revelation, or in knowledge,
or in prophecy, or in doctrine?"
--ST. PAUL, I. COR. PURGATORY:
DOCTRINAL AND DEVOTIONAL.
DOCTRINE OF SUAREZ ON PURGATORY.
THE PLACE.
It is a certain truth of faith that after this life there is a place of
Purgatory. Though the name of Purgatory may not be found in Holy
Scripture, that does not matter, if we can show that the thing meant by
the name can be found there; for often the Church, either because of
new heresies, or that the doctrine of the faith may be set forth more
clearly and shortly, gives new and simple names, in which the
mysteries of the faith are summed up. This is evident in the cases of the
Holy Trinity, the Incarnation, and the Holy Eucharist.
The doctrine of Purgatory is proved by:--the Old Testament, the New
Testament, the Councils of the Church, especially those of Florence
and of Trent, the Fathers and Tradition, and by theological reasons.

WHERE PURGATORY IS.
Nothing is said in Holy Scripture about this place, nor is there any
definition of the Church concerning it. The subject, therefore, comes
within the range of theological discussion. Theologians, however,
suppose Purgatory to be a certain corporeal place, in which souls are
kept till they pay fully the debt which they owe. It is true that they do
not in themselves need a corporeal place, since they are spirits; but yet,
as they are in this world, they must, of necessity, be in some corporeal
place--at any rate, with regard to substantial presence. Thus we see that
God, in His providence, has made definite places for the Angels,
according to
