From a reader…
QUAERITUR:
My cousin’s parish priest said that there is no purgatory. What say you?
I say that, if he really thinks there is no Purgatory, then the priest is a heretic.
I say that if he has said that in public and that if it can be proven that he said that (for example with a recording), then the proof should be sent to the local bishop. If nothing is done to correct the priest and if the priest does not publicly retract his claim and make a profession of faith, then the proof should also be sent to the Congregation Dicastery of the Doctrine of the Faith along with an explanation that the local bishop had been informed.
