“Perhaps not in your lifetime.”
Not ever.
“Have you ever heard the RCC used to sell indulgences for that very purpose?”
Only from people who had no idea of what they were talking about. Canon law specifically banned the sale of indulgences. The Catholic Church never once authorized the sale of indulgences. Ignorant anti-Catholics here at FR have repeatedly made this charge over the years and every single one of them has utterly and completely failed to show a single case in which the Catholic Church sold indulgences. We know unscrupulous Catholics sometimes violated Church law and practice and sold indulgences but the Church never authorized nor approved of it.
Quite frankly I have proved this again and again here at FR: http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-religion/2640719/posts?q=1&;page=51
“Canon law specifically banned the sale of indulgences. The Catholic Church never once authorized the sale of indulgences. ”
This is no limitation to Rome.
Just look at the long-term toleration and acceptance of gays at the Vatican.
I think that being a queer priest that molests altar boys is also against Canon Law!!!
Do I know what I am talking about?
And you are a pretty little butterfly; too!
