Christians believe that when the life of the flesh ends, there is life for the soul after death. But the soul won't be happy directly in paradise if there are still stains, so it has to be clean. According to the spiritual heritage of the Church's teachings, there is such a thing as purgatory. We're now in November, and this month used to be called the month of the soul, in purgatory.
