I realize I'll probably be attacked because I am about to post something being taught (my words) to Catholic youth concerning Indulgences and Purgatory. Let's just how many will say this is not "official" RCC teaching.

The Catholic teaching seems just fine. Now let's see what conclusions you draw from it.

The Catholic teaching seems just fine. Now let's see what conclusions you draw from it.

First: You must know I don't believe there is such a place as Purgatory.

Second: We all know the abuse of Indulgences were the cause of great scandal in the Church.

Third: My skeptical nature causes me to believe they (and Purgatory) were "invented" for the sole purpose of raising money.

Fourth: I believe the whole thing is abused.

Fifth: I believe innocent youth are being "set up" to accept the practice as a normal thing.

Sixth: I forget.
