The Communion of Saints and the Forgiveness of Sins (Catechism Series Part 18) - Auspice Maria ep 48

Auspice Maria with Bishop James Ruggieri

We do not simply stop existing when our bodies die. The saints live on in heaven and remain in communion with the Church on Earth and in purgatory. In this weeks episode, Bishop Ruggieri explains how we know this and what that means for the Church as a whole. This episode focuses on paragraphs 976 through 981 of the Catechism.
