If God forgives all our sins, why does Purgatory still exist? Many Catholics struggle with this question, and today we unpack what the Church actually teaches about forgiveness, purification, and God’s perfect love.

Purgatory isn’t a “second chance” or a lack of mercy — it’s the final healing that makes us capable of entering Heaven. In this episode, we explore Scripture, tradition, and the wisdom of the saints to understand why purification after death is part of God’s plan of salvation.
