The Handbook of Indulgences

At $13.50, it's a bargain. As one RC reveiwer on Amazon wrote...

"This edition is written in English and is the result of the efforts of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops of the United States, which was first, published in 1988. This is the Third Edition of the Handbook of Indulgences.

This book explains Norms and Indulgences. It the book explains and lists the three general types of Indulged Grants and the other type of Indulgenced Grants. With this book you will learn exactly what is required to receive a partial indulgence or plenary indulgence. All the prayers that grant indulgences are listed."

Lists can be so handy.

The Norms for Indulgences are available on lint ... no need to spend your "filthy lucre".

Enjoy ... since it's on-line, we can easily check as to whether it's being quoted accurately. Not that anybody would ever quote anything out of context. That would be dishonest.

Yes, the intricacy of the Indulgence system is one of those things that makes one uncomfortable.
