(130,538 posts)During the Middle Ages, an indulgence was the Churchs official remission of some or all punishment for sins, granted on the basis of works of devotion, charity, or acts of service. Eventually, though, indulgences became simply things to be bought. Pope Leo X decided to sell indulgences throughout Europe, not to save souls, but to raise money for elaborate projects that he was spearheading in Rome, which is what got Luther all riled up. Trump's indulgences are a bit different, though: He's selling them to get himself into Heaven.
It's not gonna work, DonOld. Your soul, if you ever even had one, is toast.

Come to think of it, they've been milking the "send me money and Jesus will forgive your sins" racket for decades.

My grandma thought the rollar derby skaters and wrestlers on tv were real too. I would laugh. I loved her dearly but she was gullible and poor.
I read a lot eve at a young age.
