Purgatory


From The New St. Joseph Baltimore Catechism (via px;)

Purgatory, according to the Catholics, is a place where unpurified dead people go as they wait to get into Heaven.

Over 20,000 people live in the retirement community near where I work (and live). The average age of someone living there is 75-years-old. The community has it’s own doctors and banks and travel agents and stores and mall — the Plaza I MiniMall.

The Plaza I MiniMall parking lot is always packed. Head-down and battered gray folks shuffle in and out of the joint all day long. You know by looking at these people that they have died, some of them many years ago. They’ve died and heaven won’t take them.

The Plaza I MiniMall in Holiday City, New Jersey is Purgatory.
