Wetterau, Bruce. World history. New York: Henry Holt and company. 1994 appears to be a textbook. Textbooks are not generally considered authoritative references on Wikipedia. It should, in any case, be replaced by any of the other books in English on the topic. -- Vicedomino ( talk) 23:35, 24 March 2016 (UTC) reply

I strongly suspect that two of the references under "External Links" are to materials which have probably violated the copyright on a volume published in 1990, held by Sheed and Ward, publishers. -- Vicedomino ( talk) 23:59, 24 March 2016 (UTC) reply

I have added substantial quoted material from Denzinger on purgatory. Please note that the English versions of the canons of the council floating about on the Internet are incomplete, as some admit explicitly, so don't be surprised if they don't have this text.
