Congratulations to the members of the Forum for handling this topic so irenically.
Over in the Eastern Catholicism section of the Catholic Answers Forum the Moderator has banned discussion on this topic.
Wonderful to see that contributors here can handle it without contention.
We're lucky that here we don't have certain Latin posters insisting that some Eastern Catholic Saints aren't actually Saints. That always makes for a flame-fest! Peace and God bless! P.S. How is your health, Fr. Ambrose?

P.S. How is your health, Fr. Ambrose? Ghosty! It's nice to see all the old familiar faces here. Thanks for the enquiry about the health. Most days are very good but there is the odd one when if I were a Roman Catholic, I could spring ten souls out of Purgatory.

... if I were a Roman Catholic, I could spring ten souls out of Purgatory. I'm sure even any Orthodox among the ten would be most grateful that Catholics are willing and able to oblige.

Ajk, From what I am understanding from the Eastern Catholics here on the Forum, no suffering is involved for Eastern Catholics (nor for Orthodox?) in Purgatory. Only Roman Catholics undergo that. The rest of us, if I understand Marduk correctly, do not suffer but are there simply to increase in holiness - not an unpleasant thought.

I'm sure even any Orthodox My apologies, Father Deacon, for addressing you as Ajk. I clicked on your profile and discovered you are a deacon.

I only speak for myself though I try to accurately state the theology. But my remark was about (your) suffering in the flesh; here you now seem to have put yourself in purgatory.

Dear Ghosty, Well, Rome is so reticent about glorifying Eastern Catholic saints (which is why we like to borrow as many as possible from the calendar of our Orthodox brothers) that the ones that do make it through all the hoops and hurdles of the revered Latin Congregation for canonizations are sure to be solid! What was that you were saying about St Philomena?  Alex
