I was one of those for many years.<br />I don't mean to beat up on you, yours is the advice I trust more than most others.MJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15105244449361269412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5745814378416915364.post-2668421042077216552011-02-04T19:13:42.871-08:002011-02-04T19:13:42.871-08:00Amen, Lynne!!!!!Amen, Lynne!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5745814378416915364.post-31204317164250229702011-02-04T18:57:19.223-08:002011-02-04T18:57:19.223-08:00I usually love your explanations of things Father,...I usually love your explanations of things Father, but there's *many* ways of getting your sins forgiven and confession is just one of the ways?! How else do mortal sins get forgiven? I thought the penitential rite is just for venial sins.<br /><br />And indulgences aren't a way to get sins forgiven. You have to be in a state of grace, i.e. have gone to confession, in order to even gain a *partial* indulgence.<br /><br />I apologize for being so hard-headed about this but so many Catholics don't believe in the Sacrament of Confession any more and this blog post could be interpreted to make them think they're right...Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17970851228593550726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5745814378416915364.post-23951585453074372552011-02-04T09:23:04.162-08:002011-02-04T09:23:04.162-08:00You say that the Handbook of Indulgences is online...You say that the Handbook of Indulgences is online . . . . that's about as far into cyberspace as it gets.<br /><br />rmkRobert M Kraus Srhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09219821843765671099noreply@blogger.com
