NO. What I said is that some indulgences are tied to a place or thing at a specific geographical location. It is a simple fact of economics that traveling somewhere costs money. This is NOT money that the Church gets.
What I was speaking to in the post of mine that you pointed out is that frankly, some of the indulgences aren't simple . (did you actually look at the list I posted?) Attending the first Mass of a newly ordained priest? Not particularly easy. Visiting the Stational Churches of Rome? Free to obtain, but not free to get there (unless I plan to walk/swim), and in light of that certainly not easy.
You cannot, and as ArrogantBustard pointed out, never could "BUY" indulgences.
I'm at a loss as to how someone can read them, and grossly misconstrue them, if one is reading them in good faith. It just boggles the mind.
Hey, Aren't you supposed to be doing your homework? I don't want to hear that you blamed a bad grade on us or you will spend time in "homework purgatory" making up time.
Now it's "never"?!?
This just gets sillier. I guess history is nothing more than one big...
