Join Father Philip Eldracher and his brother Justin as they discuss how we can help the suffering souls in Purgatory by prayers, indulgences and other good works. Father also talks about the Heroic Act of Charity for the poor souls, which is described in more detail in Fr. Schouppe's work, Purgatory Explained.
Father Philip Eldracher
A Complete Catechism of the Catholic Religion by Father Joseph Deharbe, S.J. was originally written in German, was very popular in the 19th century, and was translated into English. Bishop Donald Sanborn finds the Deharbe Catechism to be the most complete to convert and instruct people in the Catholic Faith.
Father Eldracher is currently pastor of Mary Help of Christians chapel and provides the Traditional (Tridentine) Latin Mass to faithful Catholics throughout Australia.
