1 Corinthians 3:15

[BIBLIOGRAPHY]

In the Council of Florence, which began at Ferrara an. [in the year] 1438. The Greeks at the very first declared they admitted a third place, where souls were punished for a time, which they called a place of darkness and sorrow. See Labb. tom. xiii. Con. p. 20. Gr'e6ci fatentur p'e6nam temporaneam, quod peccatis obnoxiorum anim'e6 in locum abeunt tenebricosum, in locum m'e6roris, in quo, ad tempus, versantur in m'9crore & p'e6nis, Greek: eis topon skoteinon, kai topon lupes, kai lupountai merikos. --- Again, H'e6c est inter eos differentia: Gr'e6ci p'9cnam, m'e6rorem, & p'9cn'e6 locum asserunt, Itali p'e6nam, purgationemque per ignem. See again p. 491. Sess. 25. where the Greeks say of such souls, that they are in a middle state, medias autem esse in loco tormentorum, sed sive ignis sit, sive caligo, sive turbo, sive quid aliud, non contendimus. See also the definition of the Council, p. 515, where it is only defined, eorum animas p'9cnis purgatoriis post mortem purgari, & ut a p'9cnis hujusmodi releventur, prodesse vivorum suffragia, which was the doctrine both of the Greek and Latin Church. See on this place of St. Paul, Bellarmine, lib. i. de Purgatorio, cahp. 5; Salmeron disp. 7. in lib. ad Corint.; Estius; a Lapide; etc.
