  • Catholic Gunpowder Plot

    The Fifth of November 1605 Jesuit Treason Plot was an assassination attempt against King James by a group of provincial English Catholics  who sought to restore the Catholic monarchy to England and end religious persecution against the Catholic resistance—which would have severely altered the course of faith and religion in the future British Empire, including America. E252.

  • Is Purgatory Biblical?

    The concept of Purgatory is not adhered to by all Christians but is nevertheless a fascinating topic well worth investigating. Protestants do not believe in purgatory. They typically reject the doctrine because they argue it lacks biblical support and is inconsistent with the Protestant belief in salvation by faith alone, which holds that Jesus's sacrifice is sufficient for all sin. E264.

  • Is Purgatory Real?

    Protestants do not believe in purgatory. They typically reject the doctrine because they argue it lacks biblical support and is inconsistent with the Protestant belief in salvation by faith alone, which holds that Jesus's sacrifice is sufficient for all sin. The concept of Purgatory is thus not adhered to by all Christians but is nevertheless a fascinating topic well worth investigating. E258.

  • What is Purgatory?

    November 2 is the annual feast day associated with purgatory — All Souls' Day (officially the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed). The concept of Purgatory is not adhered to by all Christians but is nevertheless a fascinating topic well worth investigating. The word "purgatory" is rooted in Latin, meaning to purify, purge, or cleanse; a place or condition of temporal punishment for spiritual cleansing after death of souls dying penitent and destined ultimately for Heaven. It is NOT considered as a place of probation, for, the ultimate salvation of those in purgatory is assured, and the impenitent are NOT received into purgatory. The souls in purgatory are supposed, however, to receive relief through the prayers of the faithful and according to the traditional Catholic understanding, through the sacrifice of the mass. Protestants do not believe in purgatory. They typically reject the doctrine because they argue it lacks biblical support and is inconsistent with the Protestant belief in salvation by faith alone, which holds that Jesus's sacrifice is sufficient for all sin. E257.

  • November 2nd is All Souls' Day

    November Second is a Christian feast day of prayer and remembrance for the deceased, known as All Souls Day, observed by the Roman Catholic Church, some Anglican and Lutheran denominations, and various Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholic churches. Christians honor the departed through prayer, Mass, and acts of charity, with many traditions involving visiting cemeteries to decorate graves. The observance grew out of earlier Christian traditions of praying for the dead. The practice has roots in the belief that the living can assist those who have died through prayer, love, and sacrifice. It’s the last day of Allhallowtide, a Christian season which lasts three days that also includes All Hallows' Eve (also known as the secular Halloween on October 31st) which initiates Allhallowtide, and concludes November second with All Souls' Day. E251.

    Ancient Halloween roots and traditions go back, far back to Western occidental history’s folk, pagan, and Christian beliefs.
