From the Latin word "purgare", meaning to make clean or to purify, Purgatory is belived by Roman Catholics to be a place or condition of termporal punishment.
It has traditionally been viewed as a place of torment with excruciating fires.
Gregory the Great wrote "that the pain be more intolerable than anyone can suffer in this life". Augustine and St Bonaventure agreed.
The purpose of this pain is to purify the individual. Eventually, the person will be cleansed and be eligible to be transferred to Heaven.
One writer comments, "Which of us does not tremble when he thinks of those who have been burnt to death in a slow fire? Yet their suffering was of relatively short duration.
"The incomparably fiercer fire of purgatory, which we may have to face, may last 20 or 50 or 100 years!"
