Oh MY! The Vatican is Back to its 16th Century ‘Indulgences’ Ways!
I hope this is a farce. If not, as soon as the coin in the coffer rings, the aborting mother from purgatory springs…
The Vatican is marking World Youth Day celebrations in Madrid by offering women who have had abortions an easy way to become Catholics again, reports the Guardian. Abortion is punishable by instant excommunication and “normally, only certain priests have the power to lift such an excommunication, but the local diocese has decided to give all the priests taking confession at the event this power,” explains a spokesman for Pope Benedict XVI.
Be sure to drop the offering in the collection plate, and rest assured, if a Roman priest forgives you, God has to as well… You just have to make holy pilgrimage to Madrid (where your tourist dollars are much appreciated in these trying times).
[Apparently Luther didn't make as big an impact on the Tetzels of the world as we had hoped].
