The modern day Vatican is truly a beautiful example of architecture, filled with many of the world’s great art treasures.

Unfortunately financed through the heresy of selling indulgences. As a Catholic I am sort of torn between the beauty and mortified by the use of resources that could have been used to do so much more for His work.

I do not know what “selling indulgences” means.

The Vatican is breath taking, in its beauty and history.
I had the opportunity to see it two years ago, unfortunately I went on a tour.....next time I will go by myself and take my time (if I get the chance that is).

Indulgences are no longer sold. That is an old thing, and has been corrected.

“mortified by the use of resources that could have been used to do so much more for His work.”

Amen, say it again!
