Excerpt from Purgatory Quizzes to a Street Preacher No. Fr. Conway in Question Box, says, Luther's false theory of justification by faith alone led him to deny the distinction between mortal and venial sin, the fact of temporal punishment, the necessity of good works, the efficacy of indulgences, and the usefulness of prayers for_the dead. If sin is not remitted but only covered; if the 'new Man' of the Gospel is Christ imputing His own justice to the still sinful man, it would indeed be useless to pray for the dead that they be loosed from-their sins. Luther's denial of Purgatory implied either the cruel doctrine that the greater num ber of even devout Christians were lost, which accounts in some measure for the modern de nial of eternal punishment, or the unwarranted assumption that God by 'some sudden, magical change' purifies the soul at the instant of death. Protestant prayers for the dead, if ever they pray for the dead, are 'a waste of time and are meaningless unless they admit a Purgatory.
