I hate to sound like a holy roller, because I am not. I do believe that there is a God, and I don't mind saying so, which I hope you don't mind. So I hope you won't think me an offensive proselytizer when I point out that Christ said that the greatest of all commandments was to love your neighbor as yourself. Which is why works are essential. But I am Catholic, and I know that this is schismatic with the Protestants, who believed in justification by faith alone. The explanation about the purchase of indulgences is, of course, interesting historically, but beside the point. Did you ever hear the George Carlin monologue about what happened to all the people who got sent to hell for eating meat on Friday after the doctrine was changed at Vatican II? I just remember the part about "doing eternity on a meat rap." Human beings are just going to get it all wrong, we can't help it.
