What is Purgatory?

​For the Catholic Purgatory is a period of purification after death.
When we die, our souls are judged immediately by Christ in what’s called the “Particular Judgment”:
Each man receives his eternal retribution in his immortal soul at the very moment of his death, in a particular judgment that refers his life to Christ: either entrance into the blessedness of heaven — through a purification or immediately, — or immediate and everlasting damnation. (_Catechism_, 1022)
Purgatory is this period of purification before heaven.
It’s not always well understood by today’s Catholics but Purgatory is still very much a part of Catholic doctrine.  Read more here -> Catholic Purgatory: What Does It Mean?

Do The Gospels Contain Lots of Inconsistencies?
What do you mean by "inconsistencies"? Outright contradictions? There aren't any. Passages that seem to be saying different things? There are some, but they can be harmonized-that is, they can be read together to make a sensible account. Consider the incident in which Jesus heals two blind men outside Jericho. In Matthew 20:29-34 the men are unnamed and are healed as Jesus leaves the city. In Mark 10:46-52 only one blind man, Bartimaeus, is mentioned, and he is healed as Jesus leaves the city. In Luke 18:35-43 only one blind man is mentioned, but he is not named, and he seems to be healed as Jesus enters the city, not as he leaves it. Certainly all these passages refer to the same incident, so how can the two apparent inconsistencies (one man versus two, entering the city versus leaving it) be reconciled? Here is one way: Bartimaeus called out to Jesus as he and the crowd entered Jericho, but in the commotion Bartimaeus was not heard. By the time Jesus left the city, Bartimaeus had been joined by another blind man. Only Bartimaeus' name is recorded, perhaps because of his persistence, perhaps because he later became well known in the Christian community. Bartimaeus calls out again and this time is heard because the crowd is now subdued. Jesus cures him and the other man. Here is another apparent inconsistency. In Matthew 20:20-21 the mother of James and John approached Jesus and asked that her sons might sit at his right and left when he came into his kingdom. In Mark 10:35-37 James and John themselves made the request. Which evangelist are we to believe? Both. There is no inconsistency. The mother of James and John first approached Jesus, paving the way for her sons to come later and second the request. We see something similar in 1 Kings 1:11-21. Nathan first had Solomon's mother, Bathsheba, approach the aged King David with the news that Adonijah was seizing power. Then Nathan himself went to the King with the same information. Now consider you're taking a vacation. You go to Hawaii and on the way home stop at the Grand Canyon. You tell one friend, "On my vacation I went to Hawaii." You tell another, "On my vacation I visited the Grand Canyon." If the friends compare notes, they'll find an apparent inconsistency. consistency. Surely they'll conclude, "Well, he must have gone to both places. After all, going to one doesn't exclude going to the other." So it is with the Gospel stories. We find what appear to be inconsistencies, but they appear pear such only because the Gospels are themselves fragmentary accounts of Christ's life, each account including different fragments. All right, but the Old Testament has lots of contradictions and people have known that for at least a century. The very first thing you need to understand about the Bible is that it is not just one single book. It is a collection of books, composed by dozens of people living

Catholic Belief - Heaven

The church teaches that as long as Catholics go to Mass and confess any serious sin, they will go to heaven?
It isn't enough to believe the Catholic faith - you also have to live it. In fact, how you live demonstrates what you believe. If you have what is termed "saving faith," it will manifest itself in a holy, obedient life. If your faith is nothing more than a list of propositions to which you give mental assent, you have only intellectual faith, the kind James says is insufficient for salvation (James 2:24). Notice that Paul calls real Christian faith "the obedience of faith" (Rom 1:5, 16:26). It's a faith which manifests itself in proper acts. If you deliberately skip Mass, you are disobedient to legitimate Church authority, which commands weekly attendance, and you renege on your chief obligation as a creature: worship of your Creator. If you don't confess serious (mortal) sins, you are not really sorry for them. After all, if you really are sorry for your sins, you will humble yourself by confessing them in the way God has ordained, though sacramental confession (John 20:22-23). If you refuse to confess your serious sin, you have only a pretended sorrow and remain grace-less. Without grace, you can't go to heaven. Don't look at attending Mass or confessing sins as just two of many different things you need to do to be counted as saved. Salvation isn't a matter of accumulating brownie points. Some Catholics think God weighs their lives in a scale. If their good deeds outweigh their bad deeds, they go to heaven. This is incorrect. Someone might live a totally immoral life, repent just before dying, and then be saved, even though the evil deeds of a lifetime "outweigh" the single good deed of repentance. Someone else might live a nearly sinless life, and then, in the last hour, sin mortally and die unrepentant. A lifetime of good deeds will not make up for final impenitence. Then why bother to be good? Because we are creatures of habit. If we are in the habit of doing good, we likely will continue to do good and stay out of sin. If we are in the habit of doing evil, we likely will continue to do evil and will die in a sinful, unrepentant state. Sin even affects our intellects. The more we sin, the less clearly we think. If we think badly, we act badly. It's the most vicious of circles. If we live virtuously, we think more clearly because grace helps elevate the mind. Our good thinking leads to good living.
