granting of indulgences Hasn't that been causing trouble in the Catholic Church for over 800 years? I think that is one issue that Martin Luther was pretty upset about (among several).

**The aim of the meeting was help people recover “the joy of the personal experience of the mercy of God” and to encourage priests to make this a priority.**

Priests should encourage recovery of Sacrament of Reconciliation You can say that again.
Only proviso is that many NO priests, or so I'm told, fail to conduct a proper Sacrament because they minimize or reject the sinfulness of actions and thoughts that were and are considered sinful by traditionalists. No cultural relativism in the Confessional for me!
