Purgatory

For anyone new to the blog, you can view posts below this one to see what we've already studied, namely Inferno. Our study on Purgatory will be on the following evenings in Guadalupe Hall at EWTN.

Thursdays, 7pm
June 30, July 7, 14, 21

Make-up days (or if you just want to see it a 2nd time)
Wednesday July 6, Mondays July 11, 18, 25

The recommended book is Anthony Esolen's translation which is available at the EWTN gift shop, online at EWTN Religious Catalogue, Amazon or Barnes & Noble. 

Before coming to the first session, try to read Cantos 1-8.

Purgatory: A New Translation by Anthony Esolen

Dr. Esolen is a wonderful instructor and we promise you won't doze off during this study. You can view an excerpt of the first session of Purgatory study here.

For a video explaining why the Pope wants us study The Divine Comedy during this Year of Mercy, watch this from Bishop Robert Barron. (Joseph Pearce would disagree with the Bishop's recommendation of the Mark Musa translation. He told us that notes from a Catholic point of view make all the difference.)
