They do. The fuss was all about ‘’predestination’’i.e You’re bound to Hell if you don’t.... pay some bishop or priest a ‘’donation’’ so they’ll intervene on your behalf selling ‘’salvation’’ ‘(’’Indulgences ). The ‘’infallibility of the Pope, The Church of Rome(pre-Vatican), etc.

I'm sorry, this is just wrong on so many counts.

  1. Indulgences don't get anyone out of hell, but out of purgatory
  2. They therefore have nothing to do with salvation, since only the saved go to purgatory
  3. The "selling" of indulgences was banned by Trent 500 years ago
  4. The indulgences sold in Luther's day were for the dead, so the post-mortem fate of the people doing the buying didn't enter into the discussion
