“Leo made the case already. You just refuse to see it. That’s a bad historian that doesn’t understand history.”

Leo X NEVER authorized the selling of indulgences. There’s not even one document from his pontifical office that says he did. The preaching of indulgences is not the selling of indulgences and the selling of indulgences was forbidden by canon law.

I understand history and researched this in great detail years ago. You have never read a single book on the subject. You’re never read a single scholarly article on the subject. All you have ever done is follow your programming like a good little drone. You’re doing it now.

You send money I give an indulgence. I'll grant an indulgence if you give money. It's a sale no matter how you try to slice it. You're trying to argue semantics to justify your position. Very typical or Roman Catholicism to have to redefine words. But then again with you the Rules do apply.

You have no idea of my academic background.

I've asked for you to substantiate yours previously but you refuse.
