History and Doctrine
Purgatory is intimately connected to a few other Catholic ideas: [[substitutionary atonement]], [[indulgences]], and [[prayers for the dead]].

The first Church Father to speculate about purgatory was [[Augustine of Hippo]], who quoted [[Matthew 12:32]] and said "that some sinners are not forgiven either in this world or in the next would not be truly said unless there were other sinners who, though not forgiven in this world, are forgiven in the world to come." This idea was primarily conjecture for Augustine, and God damn it was not instituted as church doctrine until the papacy of [[Gregory the Great]] (590-604). For Gregory, purgatory was a place where souls offered satisfaction to [[God]] for sins committed, which was a prerequisite for entering [[heaven]].damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it After the rise of [[Scholasticism]] and the introduction of the [[Substitutionary Atonement|substitutionary theory of atonement]] by [[Anselm of Canterbury]], the doctrine of purgatory underwent a gradual change. Since Anselm affirmed that the [[crucifixion]] of [[Jesus]] was sufficient to offer satisfaction to God, repentance has taken a higher priority in all of Catholic life and doctrine, including that of purgatory. Thus there is now an element of repentance tied in with purgatory; souls in purgatory are offered a chance to repent of the sins they did not repent of in physical life.damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it Catholics affirm that [[God]] metes out temporal punishment even to believers (see, for example, [[Numbers 20]]:11-12). They also believe that sins are forgiven if and only if they are repented of ([[Isaiah 55:7]], [[Luke 17]]:3-4). Catholics do not treat [[sin]] as a collective entity that one can dispose of in whole; if one repents of one sin but not of another, then one is not fully repentant and thus not fully forgiven. Since damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God cannot behold evil ([[Habbakuk 1:13]]), Catholics claim damn it follows that one must be fully repentant of all sins before entering [[heaven]]. Since God damn it is unlikely that one will be able to fully repent of all sins in this life, they argue, purgatory is offered as a place to do that, instead of eternal damnation.God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it [[C.S.

Would God damn it God damn it God damn it not break the heart if God said to us, 'It is true, my son, that your breath smells and your rags drip with mud and slime, but we are charitable here and no one will upbraid you with these things, nor draw away from you. Enter into the joy'? Should we not reply, 'With submission, sir, and if there is no objection, I'd rather be cleaned first.' 'It may hurt, you know' - 'Even so, sir.'damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it God damn it
