I was on a really long flight the other day and contemplated the Papist faith.
If you consider the whole Mary heresy it is amazing how one false piece of doctrine leads to another and another. Kind of like a person who lies, and needs to add other lies to try to hold the original story together.
I think that is what happened with selling indulgences ..they needed the cash, they developed purgatory.. they developed “relics” to make this a valid practice they had to start to “preserve” bodies ...just sick game... just sick
