The practice of purchasing indulgences was banned over 500 years ago, rendering Luther Moot. Further, indulgences in no way forgive sins. They deal only with punishments left after sins have been forgiven. The definition of indulgences presupposes that forgiveness has already taken place: "An indulgence is a remission before God of the temporal punishment due to sins whose guilt has already been forgiven" (Indulgentarium Doctrina 1).

Really? Now how much does it cost to annul a marriage so as to bless a marriage within the church.... Please don't tell me it is 'free' of charge as I know different....

It’s free if the person simply can’t pay the fees. You may not like the answer, but that’s the truth. I know someone who paid little or nothing for tha whole process. She simply had no money.

Can you tell me if it costs more or less than is charged? Can you make a compelling argument why either the Church or your fellow parishioners should subsidize your mistakes?
