....what do these spiritual measures really do? Could someone seriously bring these get-out-of-jail cards to the Pearly Gates? "You can imagine the cartoon that would make," admits Rev. Pierre Ingram, director of priestly formation for the Companions of the Cross in Ottawa.

In fact, the rules and language around indulgences were modernized by Pope Paul VI in 1967.

"Modern people just do not take kindly to this very minute accounting system. There needs to be simplicity and personal freedom as well. It used to be measured in things like, '200 days off Purgatory,' which no one took literally because -- you know -- what's a day in Purgatory?" said Father Ingram. "But it was an attempt to show an order of magnitude." According to church rules, a penitent can seek the indulgence for himself or a deceased person by going to confession, receiving communion, distancing himself from sinfulness, praying for the pope's intentions....
