“While some might consider indulgences an outdated concept, great spiritual importance have been assigned to them by Benedict XVI and his predecessor, Pope John Paul II.”

It has been going on since 1999 for sure, but it never truly went away. The Catholic Clergy have just kept very quite about it, because they are embarrased…until now.
“Needless to say, there is a great need and benefit in the restoration of the importance of the teachings on indulgences in the modern Church!”

The idea of Indulgences sounds sleazy. Indulge in what, molestation of young parishoners?

It cheapens the message of Jesus Christ. It is so wholly unchristian that you should be honest and name yourselves the, “Unholy Roman Catholic Church”.

John 8:44-45
44Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
45And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
(KJV)

It’s hard to believe but it seems that Pope Benedict is in favor of more Octomoms and big Catholic family. With the sky rocketing world population and the United States in economic peril, I can’t phantom the logic in Pope Bendedict’s call to a halt on contraception.

While in Africa, Pope Benedict stated that condoms are not the answer to HIV prevention. So as sexually active as Catholic teens and Catholic college kids are these days, no contraception will surely equal a rise in Catholic HIV and Catholic teen pregnancy is sure to follow.

Now that Pope Benedict has prohibited contraception, Satan may actually succeed in wiping out Catholics with the help of STDs. Amen.
