[Lauren BaRecall]

“Of course, according to our theology, he is going to spend a LONG time in purgatory ....”

Not if he were to gain a plenary indulgence.

God's Mercy is infinite. The value of Jesus’ act of redemption is infinite, and therefore, the treasury of the Church is infinite.

“As soon as the coin in the coffer rings, the soul from purgatory springs”

Johann Tetzel
