Some of the most vile tweets on twitter are posted in response to the pope’s tweets. It’s a “honeypot” for the deranged.

I believe the church used to sell pre-emptive indulgences.
Say I saw a young girl in my neighborhood I thought was really hot. I could pay the church to grant me forgiveness for the rape I was ABOUT TO commit.
Kinda makes one want to be rich...

I really like Pope Francis’s “sermons” (or whatever our Catholic brethren call them). I follow him somewhat here and on the web simply because I like the way he preaches.
However, my Bible doesn’t say anything about “indulgences”. Or “purgatory”. Those are fabrications of men. Harmless perhaps, but definitely not binding on me!

It is also a honeypot for the biblically informed. Though their tweets should not be vile.

Martin Luther had some issues with those...

Does your bible say Mary was perfect? Does it say she died a virgin?
You may disagree with the pope on those as well.

He’s fortunate nobody got a pre-emtive indulgence for killing him. Must have been really expensive.

Matter of fact!
I also never read anywhere in there that I should pray to her, so I don’t.

Utter heresy and depravity.

I could pay the church to grant me forgiveness for the rape I was ABOUT TO commit. To gain a plenary indulgence you must be in the state of grace and have the interior disposition of complete detachment from sin, even venial sin.
Rape being a mortal sin, your little thought experiment here won't merit you anything but Hell.
Nice try though!

It’s stuff like this that causes my Protestant friends to believe that I belong to some weird, creepy cult.
From Twitter? Seriously??
To: cuban leaf
Cuban leaf, you are in error. First, indulgences do not involve the forgiveness of sin --- indeed they have nothing to do with unconfessed, unrepented sin.
And you sure can't repent a sin in advance. :o|

"Utter heresy and depravity." He just forgot the \s tag. I can see his grin from here.

Well, you can’t NOW. ;-)
Things were interesting a dozen or so centuries ago.

ot true today.
Yeah. That is old stuff. Kinda like the Mormons didn’t allow black into the church at first since their skin color “is the mark Gode gave Cane for murdering his brother”.

Say I ...Don't know that an indulgence is not a permission to commit sin, nor a pardon of future sin.
