Purgatory 101: Everything You Wanted To Know About Purgatory

Purgatory 101: Everything You Wanted To Know About Purgatory by: Johan Cyprich
Non-fiction: Religion, E-book

This book should be called: vaguely superstitious uses of devotions and incorrect, likely Rad Trad "information" on the Catholic faith, pray for the souls in Purgatory.    For example, it notes that we know little on Purgatory and that visions, even from saints aren't official doctrine.  It then spends most of the book going over all the ways that you can pray for the souls in Purgatory.  Which wouldn't be bad; except, it's not information on Purgatory and it includes statements declared incorrect by popes.  Things like, if you pray the St. Gertrude the Great prayer 1,000 souls will go to Heaven.  Or if you have 30 Gregorian Masses said for someone, having one said every day for 30 days straight (with no skipping days) then that person will automatically go to Heaven on day 30.  In short, superstitious uses of otherwise good devotions.  And then there is the things that are completely wrong, which were likely right 70 years ago.  Things like saying Lent ends on Easter Vigil or there are 3 mysteries of the rosary (I am assuming that they meant to say 3 groups or types of mysteries.  Also I checked when the Luminous Mysteries were made in relationship to the book,   they started in 2002, the book was updated this year.)
