About this episode

Fr. Darrin Merlino discusses the significance of purgatory and answers common questions about it.

Purgatory is often ignored by many Catholics, but there is a purpose to it. What should we know about purgatory? Should we fear it? Is there fire in purgatory? Can we still pray for our loved ones if there soul is dwelling there? We have so many questions that Fr. Darrin Merlino will help us answer on today's episode of The Quest.
