Hello:
Does anyone know what the "four last things" and the other things
listed here represent in the R.C. doctrine or jargon/talk?

I can't remember all he [a Father Mowbray] told me -- sacred monkeys,
plenary indulgences, four last things ...

The four last things are heaven, hell, death and judgment. Traditionally
the subjects of Advent sermons. Google is your friend.
