Within Fulcher of Chartres account of pope Urban’s speech there was a promise of remission of sins for whoever took part in the crusade.

All who die by the way, whether by land or by sea, or in battle against the pagans, shall have immediate remission of sins. This I grant them through the power of God with which I am invested.

sure sounds like it to me.

hey eagle...

maybe you missed the point of what I wrote or maybe you are willfully ignoring the truth of it....

I restate: “...because even the Pope cannot forgive a sinner who does not accept the above conditions.” no matter what he says.

In addition, whenever I wonder about a fact regarding the Holy Roman Church I always consult ‘Fulcher of Chartres’ first before anything else to get his take on things.

wow, are you sure your not a liberal Democrat?
