That fact is denied by Roman Catholics who have concocted the bizarre "treasury of merit" whereby one Roman Catholic can take some of his extra grace he doesn't need and give it to another Roman Catholic who needs it more than he does. This is the soggy foundation of the selling of indulgences.
Bartering grace. Is there no end to their anti-Scriptural vanities?
Here's a good website I just found with lots of excellent links...
"The Pope has been given the office of doling out indulgences from a heavenly bank account known as the Treasury of Merit. This treasury consists of the righteousness of Jesus, plus the excess righteousness of Mary and the Saints. Indulgences are provided for the benefit of the living, who can then transfer them to family and friends in purgatory if they wish..."
Meant to ping you guys...
I can imagine 4 year olds playing church concocting such a scheme . . .
Adults?
Sheesh.
“Victims’ group accuses Catholic church of sending problem priests to military”
It's just never ending, this abomination known as "the one and only true Church". This vile system that "the gates of hell" won't prevail against. The only place who "holds the keys to the kingdom", and in whom we MUST place our trust if we ever hope to receive salvation. One faith, one body, one hope.
If I thought this was truth, and this is what God sent His only begotten Son to die for... There isn't even a word to describe the hopelessness I would feel.
