Treatise on Purgatory

The 'Treatise on Purgatory' is a work by Saint Catherine of Genoa, an Italian mystic and saint, written in the 16th century. This treatise explores the nature and purpose of Purgatory, detailing the suffering experienced by souls and their hope for eventual union with God in Heaven. Although published posthumously in 1551, recent scholarship attributes significant authorship to Saint Catherine, challenging earlier beliefs about its authorship. The text is notable for its deep theological insights and reflections on the afterlife.
