Page 59. Purgatory.--Dr. Joseph Faa Di Bruno thus defines purgatory: " Purgatory is a state of suffering after this life, in which those souls are for a time detained, who depart this life after their deadly sins have been remitted as to the stain and guilt, and as to the everlasting pain that was due to them; but who have on account of those sins still some debt of temporal punishment to pay; as also those souls which leave this world guilty only of venial sins."-- Catholic Belief( 1884 ed.; imprimatur Archbishop of New York), page 196.
