“Vlad seems to think if there isn’t a receipt involved, or a billboard advertising this, then it wasn’t a sale. LOL”

No. We all know that some unscrupulous people sold indulgences - violating canon law in the process. What didn’t happen is this: There was NEVER an authorization from any pope or council to sell indulgences to anyone ever. They were never supposed to be sold. And no pope and no council EVER authorized any sale of indulgences. That’s what all the historical records from popes and councils show. All of them.

I have said it all along and I have been right all along.

“It’s an exchange of funds for a good.”

DONATIONS. And those who had no money to DONATE still were given the indulgence - which shows there was no intention on the part of the Church to sell them. If they were intended to be sold, then everyone would have to actually buy them, but that clearly was not the case.

Obey your programming, drone.
