You keep proving me right.
“The first known use of plenary indulgences was in 1095 when Pope Urban II remitted all penance of persons who participated in the crusades and who confessed their sins.”
Clearly not a sale.
“Later, the indulgences were also offered to those who couldn’t go on the Crusades but offered cash contributions to the effort instead.”
Offered contributions. No sale.
“In the early 1200s, the Church began claiming that it had a “treasury” of indulgences (consisting of the merits of Christ and the saints) that it could dispense in ways that promoted the Church and its mission.”
Dispense. Not sold.
Thanks for proving me right again.
Luther loved Frederick III. “Frederick III is commemorated as a Christian ruler in the Calendar of Saints of the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod on 5 May.” Support heresy and get your own feast day in Lutheranism!
Well, if I were Lutherean you may have a point. However, I'm not so again you have no point (I call that WINNING). It seems Roman Catholicism is fascinated with Luther. To quote one of your fellow Catholics former taglines regarding Luther....he's living rent free in your head....now, at least it's not empty.
