Why Confession Isn’t the End: Temporal Punishment Explained & How To Get Rid Of It
About this episode
This episode explores the Catholic belief in temporal punishment and how it relates to confession and God's mercy.
Ever wondered why Catholics believe sin still has consequences even after forgiveness in Confession? In this episode, we dive deep into the Church’s teaching on temporal punishment — what it means, why it matters, and how God’s mercy and justice work together. Discover how confession wipes away guilt but not always the damage left behind, and how we can heal that through prayer, penance, and love. Father Christopher Trummer, a moral theologian, joins Dive Deep.
