Abstract

Dans le manifeste anonyme publié en 1615 Confessio Fraternalis, il est précisé que les révélations apportées sur les Rose-Croix, pour utiles et importantes qu'elles soient, ne trahissent nullement les véritables arcanes de la Fraternité qui restent inaccessibles au non-initié. La Rose-Croix serait donc semblable à un iceberg : tous les écrits publiés sur elle en sont la partie visible, mais l'essentiel demeure enfoui dans l'océan du mystère. L'ouvrage retrace, faisant la part du mythe et de la réalité, l'histoire de cette secte. Il présente le rocicrusianisme et sa quête de la connaissance universelle via l'illumination intérieure et mystique.

Abstract

After purgatory was officially defined by the Catholic Church in the thirteenth century, its location became a topic of heated debate and philosophical speculation: Was purgatory located on the earth, or within it? Were its fires real or figurative? Diana Walsh Pasulka offers a groundbreaking historical exploration of spatial and material concepts of purgatory, beginning with scholastic theologians William of Auvergne and Thomas Aquinas, who wrote about the location of purgatory and questioned whether its torments were physical or solely spiritual. In the same period, writers of devotional literature located purgatory within the earth, near hell, and even in Ireland. In the early modern era, a counter-movement of theologians downplayed purgatory's spatial dimensions, preferring to depict it in abstract terms—a view strengthened during the French Enlightenment, when references to purgatory as a terrestrial location or a place of real fire were ridiculed by anti-Catholic polemicists and discouraged by the Church. The debate surrounding purgatory's materiality has never ended: even today members of post-millennial ''purgatory apostolates'' maintain that purgatory is an actual, physical place. Heaven Can Wait provides crucial insight into the theological problem of purgatory's materiality (or lack thereof) over the past seven hundred years.
