LOL. Okay, “burn time”. And, the follow-on doctrine has “indulgences” purchased so that folks on this side can “buy down the burn time” for some poor schmuck on the other side? If the pope can forgive these at all, why does he not just do it for free? For crying out loud, even the Mormon cult is busy baptizing live folks for every single person that has ever lived to save them from becoming a disembodied alien. The RC cult ought to be able to match their weird effort.
We take it seriously. The sale of indulgences is over. Prayer and good works as well as the Mass, the most powerful of all prayers, offered for the souls assist in the remission of the consequences due to their sin, and thus God, again in His Mercy and Justice, decides accordingly.
