Do Catholics Believe in a False Jesus? - Robert M. Haddad (CD)

Catholics are sometimes accused of believing in a “false Jesus” because of their belief in Purgatory. How is this the case? The argument goes that if Jesus has died for our sins and undergone all the punishment due to sin, then there should be no punishment outstanding for forgiven sin after death. If this is the case, then how can Catholics believe that temporal punishment may still be necessary for forgiven sinners after death in Purgatory? Is this because Catholics believe somehow that Jesus’ death on the Cross was inadequate or insufficient? Robert Haddad responds to this accusation by providing a proper understanding of what Jesus Christ achieved on the Cross for us, a proper understanding of why penance still needs to be done after forgiveness of sin, and why ‘time’ in Purgatory may still be necessary for forgiven sinners. Robert concludes with a comparison between the ‘Catholic Jesus’ and the ‘Protestant Jesus’ and determines which of these two Jesus’s is the true one.
