[QUOTE]Originally posted by Baloo: [QB] HMS White Star: You ought to know me better than that. I was confusing purgatory and hell. I grew up in a protestant family and almost all my knowledge of the Catholic church is second hand, much of it from clearly biased sources. I used a light tone, admitted I was probably wrong about some points, and invited others more knowledgeable than I to fill in the blanks and correct errors. Put a sock in it. His information regarding the nature of an indulgence is correct. I quote: "...extra-sacramental remission of the temporal punishment due, in God's justice, to sin that has been forgiven..." seems to be saying that instead of doing a penance (the penitent act the priest assigns you to perform to show your contrition) you can get an indulgence (is contrition the correct term?). I wouldn't suppose the church sells them anymore, so who determines who gets one? [Just read the page on indulgences and am even more confused]. Apparently an indulgence doesn't get you out of a penance. So if the indulgence doesn't get someone out of doing a penance, just what [i]does[/i] it do? Does it shorten your stay in purgatory or what? This is my last comment on this thread. --Baloo [This message has been edited by Baloo (edited October 18, 1999).] [/QB][/QUOTE]
