I have a feeling that it's a lot more difficult to purchase indulgences nowadays than it was during Luther's time.
But luckily, I'm not Catholic, so I have no idea.
- mullingitover 2y agoArguably the entire hack created by protestantism was the infinite free indulgences "salvation by faith alone" glitch.
- skyyler 2y agoOkay, so you are admitting that Martin Luther had a measurable impact on the practices of the church, right?
- mullingitover 2y agoYou seem to be saying that religions are open to having their dogmas questioned and then growing from that, something that they are famously not open to (kind of the whole idea of a dogma). Obviously 'Not all religions,' etc. However the Catholic church is notoriously dogmatic. Usually the more you press a dogmatic group to change, the more they dig their heels in about it. It's only when the organization is wounded by a schism or massive loss of membership do they suddenly start getting word from heaven that God has changed his mind.
- skyyler 2y agoI asked you a very simple yes or no question, actually. Your lack of answer to that question speaks a lot.
