That is something I have struggled with for....but it does show his unconditional love for us.
I still think you have to follow his word through life, not just before you croak.
I can understand your questioning this.

Because as evidence in the Garden and other chapters in the book, we can't handle it ourselves as history has suggested.
As a matter of fact that is one of the core principles for being a Christian. We can't solve all of our problems and sins. We reach to him to provide needed outcomes, whether good or bad.

JC took one for the original sin part, which opens up your chance to get into heaven by accepting JC, and not committing mortal sins.
Purgatory is a cleaning room of sorts

Purgatory is a cleaning room of sorts so its not enough, as a RC, to believe and serve. but you have to be 100% pure? dang, that sucks. might as well do the minimum while your alive, then make up for it in purgatory!

Priests typically cannot get married. I don't know the justification behind that.
Purgatory is neither Heaven nor Hell.

I was with you until the Purgatory part.......So what the Purgatory is it is if not Heaven or Hell???????

Many gays go into the priesthood (my friend did as well) either as self-punishment, to try to get "cured" or to hide it........Maybe early priests were gay too, so they made that rule?? I am only partially kidding........
