By Russell Shaw, Catholic Exchange - While the calendar of the Church contains no feast of Purgatory as such, we have its equivalent instead. It falls on November 2, just after the feast of All Saints, and is called All Souls Day. This is when the Church encourages us to pray, especially for our departed ones—spouses, children, family members, friends, and many others—who we believe and hope are most likely now in Purgatory.

By Dr. Jeff Mirus, Catholic Culture - Sometimes we catch an unconfused glimpse of reality here on earth, though I admit this is rare... For example, a friend called my attention to The Daily Wire’s report on Vladimir Putin’s warnings about how “wokeness” is destroying the West. Certainly Putin, who is the President of Russia, has no love for the West and every psychological reason to be critical. But what is so fascinating is that he compares Western “wokeness” to Communist ideology.
