In the Catholic Church, the sacrament of Penance consists of three parts: contritio, confessio and satisfactio.

Contritio is in fact repentance as Protestant theologians understand it, i.e. love of God causing sorrow for sins committed, and long before the Reformation the schoolmen debated the question whether complete "contrition" was or was not in itself sufficient to obtain the Divine pardon.

[SeptemberCatholic18]

Penance (satisfactio) is not part of the "forgiving" process because it comes after one has already been forgiven. Penance is merely a way to make amends for past wrongs.

In special cases, (such as with mortal sins), confession is required, as the grace of God is understood to be dead within such a person. In fact, the reception of the Eucharist is enough to forgive somebody of a venial sin (but not mortal sins).

The temporal effects include purgatory.

The time of scrubbing to make you worthy to enter heaven.

How does a monetary gift scrub you.

or

Are you scrubbed harder in a shorter period of time.

I am a catholic and a protestant.

The lords prayer given to us by Jesus Refutes everything you believe.

[SeptemberCatholic18]

The money does NOT reduce your time in purgatory; that is a misconception. It is the act of kindness in giving to a worthy cause which merits an indulgence. Reading the Bible, praying, doing good works, etc.

The abuses of the Church have never been recognized as true indulgences. They did not count if they were purchased. That doesn't prove indulgences wrong. Several aspects of the Christianity have been abused, yet it remains true.

Forgiveness of sins:

John 20:23

2 Cor. 2:10

James 5:15-16

[wbarquez]

The basis for the authority of the Catholic Church to grant indulgences is Matthew 16:19 and 18:18. These verses give the leaders of the Church the power to allow or forbid for the good of the Church, which is the body of Jesus Christ and of which Christ is the head. An indulgence is the result of the Churchs pleading with God to spare a member of the Church from the purification that comes as a result of sin that has been forgiven.

[AtomicMonster454]

An excelent presentation on this topic; not only protestants, but many of our boomer generation priest could learn a thing or two from septcath.

[SeptemberCatholic18]

That was not the Catholic Church that did that to our people, that was the Spaniards acting outside of the Church's morals. The Church never approved the level of force they used, and it has repeatedly apologized for unfolded.

There was one good thing that came from the Spaniards: Catholicism. Thank God we were all able to see the light amid all the darkness!

Now stop insulting Jesus Christ by calling his House evil, or I will destroy all of your comments and block you.

[SeptemberCatholic18]

Please do not use my name. Simply call me "September." We are not on well enough terms for you to call me by name.

For your information, I am Mexican, so I know about Catholicism in Mexico and I can say you are a liar.

It is against the Church to pay for indulgences. The charge for a Mass costs no more than $5, and even that is optional! We are not obliged to give any tithe.

I am from the United States of America, but I travel to Mexico often and visit family there.

[carlasue88]

you are a very good speaker, you're very easy to listen to. good video!

[JAMRAND]

Not a fixed number of days in purgatory but definitely a shortening of this scrubbing process.

Forgive us our traspasses as we forgive those who traspassed against us.

No priest , no indulgences,

[JAMRAND]

People have bought indulgences and are now reported as abuses by the catholic church.

So it isnt a myth.
