If you're not supposed to ride faster than your guardian angel can fly then mine had better get a bloody SR-71.

Or, you could just not believe in Purgatory and not worry about imaginary wait times to get into Heaven.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

Quote:"What really counts is that the tweets the Pope sends from Brazil or the photos of the Catholic World Youth Day that go up on Pinterest produce authentic spiritual fruit in the hearts of everyone," said Celli.

As opposed to bootleg spiritual fruits.

I'd rather they not label them as indulgences. An entirely different practice comes to mind.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

The sad thing is that a lot of cretins will buy into this bullshitt.

I smell the makings of a cracking reality gameshow in there: "I'm in purgatory, get me out of here!"

They could have celebrities competing for indulgences, doing all sorts of stupid and dangerous stuff. Viewers could even phone in and vote for who they want to see thrown into the lake of fire that week. I nominate Justin Bieber.

Come on, Vatican, you're missing a trick here! Think of the viewing figures alone; not to mention all that sponsorship!
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Can we just throw Justin Bieber into a lake of fire without a game show?

I'd like to see him beg and squirm first. It'd be the first thing he ever did I'd find entertaining.

Quote:The church's granted indulgences reduce the time Catholics believe they will have to spend in purgatory after they have confessed and been absolved of their sins.

The biggest problem there is that you still have idiot catholics who think there is a "purgatory." You need to be really stupid to believe catholic shit.
