I just went to confession and I don't want to mess it up, so I'm going to be nice about this, and actually respond.

Where are the records? What records? Please, produce them, from the Vatican records. All researches who have seen them, say that there was no selling of indulgences. St. Peter's was built with donations, admitedly some may have been coerced, but indulgences were never sold.

That is a lie. And not even a very good one. There is civil record of it from the people. Walter Martin, if memory serves, even quotes a song written about the monks who used to carry around small casks which they'ed open up for money to be dropped into. I can't remember the words right now; but, it was something along the line of "You drop in your coin and out pops forgiveness." The Vatican as I understand it, still doesn't find it as amusing as the rest of the world that recognized it for what it was. In other words, you can't be serious.

Dream on.

Where are the records of Peter's 25 year reign as Pope/Bishop of Rome?
