In 1274 A.D., Purgatory was officially declared a doctrine of the Catholic Church. This netherworld location has been described as a place of flames, punishment, intolerable pain, and purification, before those subjected to it graduate to the bliss of heaven. Purgatory cannot be proven by the Bible. Along with indulgences, it is one of the primary beliefs that led to the great Protestant Reformation.
