H/T Fr Alvin Kimel, Pontifications Purgatory as Self-Knowledge :

Humankind cannot bear to see the destruction and horror that it brings into the world, cannot bear to accept the responsibility for the injuries it has afflicted on others. Our offenses, infidelities, greed, lust, and violence ripple through families and communities, affecting people unto the third and fourth generation. We spend much of our time, both individually and corporately, protecting ourselves against this knowledge; - “Human kind”, T. S. Elliot

Like cursed offspring, mankind continues to suffer as a result of the sins of our ancestors past who sought refuge among the destructive sins of abortion, contraception, violence and sexual “freedoms”. In our quest of seeking out happiness and self fulfillment away from God, we develop into a type of spiritual hurricane with the hope of dwelling within the eye of the storm. The quick fixes, “personal choices” and alleged “rights” bring about the false sense of security one usually experiences while in the eye of a storm, holding on to a false hope of totally isolating themselves from the destruction and chaos of the storm swirling about them. The effects of our sins bring about a spiritually blindness, and through fear we learn to justify and accept the horror of abortion, the selfishness of contraception, the immoralities of lust and other immoral and unethical means of protecting the integrity of our selfish pride, comfort and safety. All the while, we believe we are making personal decisions and unaware that our evil deeds have become a new source of spiritual destruction, causing harmful scandal and suffering for generations to come and we allow injustices to go on, saying and doing nothing - out of fear and indifference, and for that we will be held accountable.

We see the meaning and the effects of ALL our sins in Purgatory—their effects on others as well as ourselves, both directly and indirectly, through chains of influence presently invisible, chains so long and effectual that we would be overwhelmed with responsibility if we saw them now. Only a few can endure the saint’s insight that “we are each responsible for all. - “Human kind”, T. S. Elliot

I’m feeling not so much in the judgmental mood right about now.
