purgatorial society
Purgatorial societies are Roman Catholic Church associations or confraternities which aim to assist souls in purgatory reach heaven. The Catholic doctrine concerning purgatory, the condition of the poor souls after death (particular judgment), the communion of saints, and the satisfactory value of our good works form the basis of these associations. In the modern Church this role is fulfilled by the Purgatorian Archconfraternity which is run under the auspices of the Transalpine Redemptorists.
==History==
For centuries, associations praying for the purgatorial souls were common.〔cf., Kraus, "''Christl. Alterümer''", ''s. v. Fraternitas''〕 The old religious orders, e.g. the Benedictine Order, especially the Order of Cluny which inaugurated All Soul's Day, also met some of this need. Religious confraternities are likewise distinguished in their early beginnings by a special devotion to the sick and burial of the deceased (e.g. the brotherhood of Constantinople which flourished in 336,〔Baronius, "''Annales''", ''ad an''. 336, IV (Lucca, 1739), 295; cf. VII (Lucas, 1741), 869 "''Parabolani''"〕 and in the West the ''Confratriæ'' or Confraternitates of the Middle Ages.) Even the medieval guilds, established primarily for secular purposes, never forgot in their constitutions, to require charity for deceased members.〔Michael, "''Gesch. des deutschen Volkes''", I (1897), 146, 150, sq; Janssen, "''Gesch. d. deutsch. Volkes''", I (1st ed.), 319 sqq.〕
