My thinking on indulgences is that they should never have been used at all. I could see where they could used during the Crusades but definitly not to raise money for building Church's. Sometimes the Pope would even pocket the money. What do you guys think?
-
tongue AdvancedI don't really know much about it relation to the Crusades, really only in relation to the Protestant Reformation.
-
The Pope or was it multiple popes at this time? I don't know but anyway, they issued that you would recieve an indulgence for fighting during the crusades.
-
tongue AdvancedWell, in the scope of Catholic Christianity at the time, it makes alot of sense. It's when someone is basically paying away their sins that it becomes a problem.
-
Well I don't think it was right for people to get into heaven when they didn't accept Christ. It was for a good cause, but it doesn't seem right.

to which use did you say they were good?
-
Okay well that didn't answer the question but whatever.
-
I was talking about how the indulgences were good for the Crusades or building Churches. That's what I was asking.
-
Um...I know next to nothing about the subject. But you keep asking me to come here, so I'm here. xD
-
why do you say that? I don't agree with it, but it also doesn't relate to what were talking about
-
Good. but saying going to church isn't fun doesn't really relate
-
I don't know of any churches today that do that. Although I'm more than sure that there are churches like that out there, I haven't heard of one that still exists today. At least, my church doesn't.
And besides, aren't we talking about the crusades? -
Thank you for posting. were not talking about how it affects today's world. for all I know, indulgences don't exist. I just wanted your opinion on should they have been legalized?
