Re: on Indulgences

The Indulgences were not a scam and Indulgences could not be sold to shorten the time in Purgatory. That is just another Urban myth.
What could be done was higher intercession, a number of services or number of priests or a particular individual to intercede for you to ask for a reduction of time in Purgatory. Again, this would not be illegal even today as long as the Church performed the services and duties that were proffered.
It's quite interesting describing a part something that is pure myth in its entirety, as being a myth itself. I lie about a lie i suppose.
I was amused to see that Limbo is now accepted as a myth by the Vatican after about 2,000 years of deep, deep thought.
As the saying goes, you couldn't make this stuff up......
