Catholic Answers Magazine - July/August 2013 Issue (E-Magazine)

In this issue:

• Whatever Happened To Purgatory? by Father Ray Ryland – Mention of purgatory is absent from the Church's liturgy - even it's funeral liturgy. And yet we know from Scriptural and other sources the neccesity of purgation before entry into the perfection of heaven.
• The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Heaven by Jimmy Akin – Are there clouds and harps? Is it in the sky? Is it outside time? Some of what we can discern about heaven may surprise you.
• True Compassion for the Sexual Sinner by Father Paul Check – Because Christianity can give an account of the fall from grace, it offers an explanation for the interior disharmony we feel that often leads to sexual sin.
• Love of the Abyss, and the Abyss of Love by Anthony Esolen – God gives us the freedom to choose heaven or hell, and Dante’s Inferno can teach us much about the reality of the latter.
• And many more articles to help you better understand and share the Faith.
