Oh God! A fellow Catholic!!!! You know as I reflect on it, DSD, there was a wonderful, comforting order to the whole thing. EVen if you really, really screwed up bigtime; you know, missed Mass, committed adultery, ate meat on Friday, murdered your mother, those mothers of Mortal sins--there was always a way out. You could stock up on Indulgences. Say a lot of rosaries. Make sure you left plenty of money to the Church in your will for Masses post mortem. And it was really clearcut. Say one Hail Holy Queen-113 days. I kept a chart for a while. I have years off my Purgatory. Of course then they changed everything, and I thought it all was wasted. All those damn rosaries! So I left the Church and became a Lutheran where you only have to have Faith. Much easier. Representatives from the Ask God thread are going to come get me in the night, I know it. Where did I put my Glo-in-the-dark rosary???
