(You were very bad.)<br /><br />When you get to heaven, will most catholics still be in purgatory for hundreds of thousands of years to go?<br /><br />Who did your bishop borrow his Pallium "contribution" from and how much money was it?<br /><br />Do you buy indulgences to reduce your time in purgatory, or the time there for loved ones?<br /><br />Didn't you forget a few sins at your last confession? <br /><br />What was your penance for bombing a pub in Belfast? Would they take money instead. Parish Priest no, Bishop yes?<br /><br />Would the church annul your current, or any previous marriages? So, what are marriages that never happened then? "We're the children of my mother's 1st annulment."<br /><br />Any of this stuff relevant? Tell me again, what is it I have to do to get my sins forgiven. Oh, they are forgiven but I still have church penalties to work off and years in purgatory to pay for. So God forgives my sins but the church holds them against me until I pay the penance.<br /><br />I think some of this stuff is still relevant.<br /><br />Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09777514643611989502noreply@blogger.com
