[…] can you suppose it would offend that benevolent Being […] to raise a devoted heart from purgatorial torments to a state of heavenly bliss, when you could do it without the slightest injury to yourself or any other?
[…] fearful lest in the midst of the purgatorial fire, which differed from the infernal only in that it was not everlasting, his penance might avail no more than a drop of moisture […]
gloss: That purifies by removing sin; expiatory.
pos: adj
examples: But to enter the Church in such an unscholarly way that he could not in any probability rise to a higher grade through all his career than that of the humble curate wearing his life out in an obscure village or city slum—that might have a touch of goodness and greatness in it; that might be true religion, and a purgatorial course worthy of being followed by a remorseful man.
Often […] exile is conceived as a purgatorial experience which the West Indian must undergo in order to know himself.
Dante makes this earlier exchange into a protopilgrimage in the purgatorial style and retroactively imbues it with the weight of this later project, his sacrato poema.
