Sublime

There is a special kind of Purgatory that involves waiting for something not to happen.

There can be nothing allowed in heaven that is not heavenly; nothing in Paradise that is not truly paradisal. Everything unworthy must therefore be cut or burned away.

While Christ “holy, blameless, unstained” (Heb 7, 26) knew no sin (see 2 Cor 5, 21), and came only to expiate the sins of the people (see Heb 2, 17), the church, containing sinners in its own bosom, is at one and the same time holy and always in need of purification and it pursues unceasingly penance and renewal.
