>implying Purgatorio is not the best cantica

But nobody implied that.
It was probably my favourite with Paradiso being my least favourite (not because it was necessarily bad, but my own ignorance and struggle to comprehend much of it really dashed my enjoyment of it). I should probably re-read the Divine Comedy again sometime but overall anyone denying its greatness is just being flippant.

Purgatorio > Inferno >>>>>>>>> Paradiso
I think we can all agree on this.

Agree completely with what you're saying, Purgatorio left a deep impression on me and what I recognise to contain some very beautiful passages, this is coming from a person that lost or rather never had any faith to begin with. I'm aware that reading the Divine Comedy doesn't require faith to be an enjoyable read nevertheless in particular Purgatorio which raised some serious questions regarding the ones self pursuit of becoming a better person and if you'd like, find redemption in the eyes of God.
Paradiso was indeed difficult to comprehend for me as well and harder to invest in since the stakes are gone and basically is "just" a praise to heaven and the greatness of God (not to say the other two canticas isn't). Here's where I falters and ultimately (considering who you ask) fall.

Of the three cantiche, I agree Purgatorio rules.
