Catholic ping!
Thanks, will look at this later.
No Christians would be in a futz over this if they knew their Baltimore Catechism, or their Westminster Catechism.
Here’s the English translation of the interview (finally).
The MSM, as usual, is full of rubbish.
About those who believe the MSM uncritically, the less said the better.

For example:
Don’t you think the conditions to receive indulgences are light?
If, together with the usual imposed conditions, no. That is, receiving the sacrament of confession no more than 15 or 20 days afterward, receiving the Eucharist and praying according to the Pope’s intentions. To obtain such indulgences it is required that one also demonstrate outstanding purity and shows evidence of fervent charity. To arrive at this state is very difficult, due to our human weakness. Hence, when thinking about it this way, receiving indulgences is something not to be taken lightly.
That demonstrates the true value of the indulgence (that even our "separated brethren" should appreciate, if they were being honest). An interior conversion of the heart, not just a bit of mumbo-jumbo.
(Also, a good thing for many of us Papists to recognize, as well...if we are to be honest with ourselves)
The ignorance and arrogance of some of the material from yesterday was beyond pale. Well maybe all of the material. I speak of the articles themselves, never mind the comments.
Particularly amusing is how many of these "journalists" actually believe the divina commedia was an "official" Church document.
Pope Dante anyone?
