Summary Pasulka examines the problems associated with the location of purgatory, which was defined by the Catholic Church in the thirteenth century. It argues that purgatory's location and spatial qualities have been a problem throughout the history of the doctrine, as scholastic theologians William of Auvergne and Thomas Aquinas speculated and disagreed about its location and whether or not its torments were physical or nonphysical
