The Buzz
"Purgatorio is sheer genius. I'm seriously considering giving it a place in my "Stellar" category."
Pyromaniac
"Stellar"
Pyromaniacs
"With tens of thousands of new blogs beginning every day, it is rare that one comes along that is very different from the rest.
Purgatorio is different. Very different. Short on text but long on photo essays, this site is a
fascinating glimpse into the trends and fads within Evangelicalism (and occasionally beyond)"
Challies Dot Com
"Purgatorio - Marc Heinrich's blog is only a few months old and today he got more hits than I did.
His "you might be emerging if . . . post" that i mentioned last week is already legendary. Challies made him
King For a Week, and I am making him Skinny for a Week... Anyway . . . congrats Marc on your excellent blog.
Love all the images! Now go and overtake Mark D. Roberts. And after him, set your sites on HughHewitt.com"
Tall Skinny Kiwi
"Marc. We usually read your post daily for some great laughs."
FIDE-O
"If you've never visited Purgatorio, it's time. The guy's got a sense of humor that won't stop.
Jesus Creed Scot McKnight
"I just added Purgatorio to my blogroll, for good reason. Marc Heinrich is a witty Christian Hedonist
(from Minnesota, surprisingly) who blogs entirely through the medium of pictures.
More importantly, he also likes Radiohead. Go check it out - it's not the usual fare in biblio-blogging
and it's worth your time. Express enough interest, and maybe he'll invite you to stay at his house."
Soylent Green
"Marc,You are an instigator, aren't you? That is one reason why PURGATORIO is great!"
Rose's Reasonings
"Usually pot-shot takers aren't ecumenical enough for my taste (or funny enough),
but this site is exceptionally funny and not so mean spirited."
A List of List's
"There are very few Christian bloggers that are consistently able to write funny posts.
Marc Heinrich is not one of them. He is able to be consistently funny while writing almost nothing.
And that is why his blog is one of my favorites."
Christian Survey
"I'm chocking over here - I will just come right out and say it.
What???? I visited and that blob/site is garbage. My soul within me is burning.
Are you guys serious?????? ...c'mon, what is this blog. I'm disgusted.
Redeemed
"My favorite place for funny or weird photos that say more about people than words can."
Off the Main Road
"One of the truly unique efforts in the Christian blogosphere"
Sharper Iron
"Be perjoritive if you like. I beleive you will see that my readers
will discern which of us is a 'kook'. I'm not the fundie here... Your comments prove my point, Big Time."
Reformed Catholic Pentacostal
"I really should Rule 40 this blog, but these kinds of posts can't be found elsewhere"
The Boar's Head Tavern - iMonk
"I'd like to point out that marc is somewhat delusional from searching the internet for images that
he thinks are related. It's kinda like the episode of Voyager where Seven links her alcove into the ship's sensor
logs and becomes hyper-paranoid about the intentions of the crew and ultimately pits Janeway against Chakotay even
though both conspiracy theories cannot be true."

Sometimes when the anger subdues you can’t decide whether to be sick or to cry.

“Nothing new under the sun.” -Solomon
If that first preacher sounded like a Benny Hinn clone. Just add comb-over.
Plea by shofarguy — November 5, 2009 @ 9:55 pm
I honestly did not think that the prosperity gospel would work in Africa. Unless God changes this false preacher’s heart, he wil stand before His maker and give an account for his gospel of greed.

This will be the taste left in the African mouth when in a decade or so, when this fad has run out, the prophets of Islam come to spread their belief. This false preaching will make the soil fertile for them.

….how sad…that people are manipulated in the name of the Lord.
Plea by SAD!!! — November 9, 2009 @ 11:58 am
So though I was not there and I can’t be sure, it seems to me that these people are not hearing that Jesus paid the debt that they could not pay to make them right with the Father.
It is pagan religion that teaches that when you appease the gods, they will reward you.
I agree with what willoh said, in the wake of the disappointment with this sick stuff, the precious hearts of these people will be fertile soil for all sorts of rebellion.
May the Lord send revival, that all may know Him.

Wow. I just feel sad.
