Pope will grant "plenary indulgence" for those attending WYD Madrid 2011

Pilgrims attending World Youth Day 2011 will get a chance of "plenary indulgence," which means the reduction or elimination of "temporal punishment," of sins. To achieve this, the pilgrims should go to confession and receive communion seven days before or after World Youth Day. They'll also have to pray for the Pope's intentions.

@antropophil Sounds great Phil. Problem is, like I said, that is what Luther, Calvin, Zwingli, etc, etc, etc all say and condemn eachother... you got nothing

@antropophil - Before you start accusing Catholics of contradicting the Bible, you may first need to explain why you tore 7 books out of the Bible. Those 7 books were in the Septuagint, the Vulgate, the Greek Orthodox Bible, The Gutenberg Bible (the first Bible ever printed), and the original KJV. But you threw them out. What do you think lays in store for you? Who on earth do you think you are that you can throw out 7 books. Think hard, because right now, you're condemned.

@antropophil - You are not a Christian. Read the end of John 6. Many of Jesus' disciples "walked with Him no more", because He said that unless you eat His body and drink His blood you cannot gain eternal life. You're one of them. You don't believe it. You would have walked away with the group. Call yourself a respecter of Jesus, or whatever you want. But for the sake of truth, do not call yourself a Christian, you deserter!

@antropophil - this is where you contradict yourself. I am going to put a quick end to your false religion. Tell me, what must a man do to be saved, and then what must he do to lose that salvation?

@antropophil - You know nothing about the Inquisition. You've never read a single book about it. You don't even know who the Inquisition targeted.

[bammbamm12]

@qortin - Well pat yourself on the back, oh enlightened one, for not being fooled by anyone except yourself.

[antropophil]

@bammbamm12 Nonsense! Moses conducted inquisitions, but they were human and if somebody was guilty, since it was a theocratic state, he would be quickly killed. But the disgusting practice of torturing people in so many cruel ways was never practiced by any man of God! I could say more, but for thinking people this should be enough!

[antropophil]

@bammbamm12 And don't you worry about me burning in hell. Rather, take heed that you don't be there, since you are exchangin the Word of God for traditions of men, which Jesus forbid!

[antropophil]

@bammbamm12 Catholic church doesn't have anything to do with Jesus' promise with binding on Earth. It is said for those who are true followers of Jesus, who take Him by His word in everything else as well. Apostle Paul spoke about apostasy, coming after his days. That's where I see the papal system.

[bammbamm12]

@antropophil - Whatsoever you bind on earth is bound in Heaven. Why do you lack the faith to take Jesus for His word? Make up your own religion - I can't stop you - but you'll end up in Hell.

[bammbamm12]

@antropophil - you know nothing. I'll give you a clue. Moses conducted inquisitions. Did Moses contradict the bible? Jesus was brought before the Sanhendrin. That was also an inquisition. Did Jesus comment on the validity of theproceedings? Finally, the Inquisition was directed against Catholics alone. Betcha didn't know that, Old Testament prophet. PS - The Dark Ages were long gone before the Inquisition began.
