The Very Rev. Thomas H. Kinane was a prominent figure in Irish Catholic life in the late Victorian era, a time of upheaval marked by faith.

Known throughout the English-speaking world as the author of The Dove of the Tabernacle, Kinane here turns his "irrepressible piety" toward the mystery of the Holy Souls—those who have departed this life in grace but remain temporarily separated from the Beatific Vision.

Using extensive references from the Bible, the saints and church councils, Kinane carefully lays the foundation for the reality of Purgatory before exploring how we can help those still on their way to heaven and even prevent our own extended exile.

Written with warmth, charity, and hope Purgatory, it's Pains and Consolations would make a perfect November study for any Catholic.
