Hi, Carl —

We have a whole section dedicated to questions on Purgatory and indulgences. There are currently two pages of questions. Note the left navigator bar.

Also, try using our knowledge base to search for an answer next time; it has most, if not all, the answers any one may have on Church teachings.

Here are some web postings I picked out that should help answer your questions:

• What is an indulgence in the simplest of terms?
• My Catholic and Protestant friends don't believe in Purgatory or Limbo; is there Scriptural proof?
  

Hope this helps,

Mike
