Pope approves indulgences
    #7730226 - 12/07/07 07:05 PM (16 years, 1 month ago)

Does anyone here actually believe this nonsense?

***Pope approves Lourdes indulgences***

Pope Benedict XVI has authorised special indulgences to mark the 150th anniversary of the Virgin Mary's reputed appearance at Lourdes.

Catholics visiting the site within a year of 8 December will be able to receive an indulgence, which the Church teaches can reduce time in purgatory.

Lourdes has drawn pilgrims since Mary was said to have appeared in 1858 to shepherdess Bernadette Soubirous.

The waters of the French shrine are said to have miraculous healing powers.

The Pope is expected to visit the shrine next year.

The pontiff also said believers who prayed at places of worship dedicated to Our Lady of Lourdes from 2-11 February next year - or who were unable to make the journey - would also be able to receive indulgences.

The decree was signed by US Cardinal J Francis Stafford, who is head of the Apostolic Penitentiary, a Vatican court dealing with indulgences and matters of conscience.

Indulgences became infamous in the 16th century for being sold rather than earned, helping, historians say, trigger the Protestant reformation.

While some might consider indulgences an outdated concept, great spiritual importance have been assigned to them by Benedict XVI and his predecessor, Pope John Paul II.

Doesn't sound like a good foundation from which to criticize other people's dogmas.

Yeah, but the notion of truth seems to differ a lot from one individual to another, and you obviously have a different one than I do.
So to which truth are you referring to?

Those catholics are probably saying the same about christians "can you actually believe they have to tithe 10%? Gosh!"

That is of course, if they are not required to as well.

it's religion, and religion is business, and business is good.

I know about some living dinosaurs that got to live up to the present moment. Still wonder when and if they will decide to make use of common sense and disappear already. :smirk:

They are quite stubborn in holding to their beliefs. Common sense will never make an entry into their minds. Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Fivepointer you continue to make me smile.  Whenever I'm having a shitty day, I just think of all the fear and confusion in your tormented, delusional mind, and I realize that I don't really have it that bad!
