LXXVIII. Qtiales animae purgentur?

LXXVIII. Qtiales animae purgentur?

For those who are remembered in the number and record of blessedness, they lose the stains of their sins through these purifications and pass into refreshment; while those who are forgotten remain in the oblivion of other punishments.

Read the original Latin

Quae enim in numero et in recordatione beatitudinis sunt, purgationibus istis maculas peccatorum suorum amittunt, et ad refrigerium transeunt; cum illae quae in oblivione sunt, in oblivione aliorum suppliciorum permaneant»
