Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Roman Catholics in America Falsifying History and Poisoning the Minds of Protestant School Children This year is the 400th. since a venereally diseased Pope, whose dissipations had exhausted the Vatican treasury, sent out monkish peddlers into sundry parts of Europe to sell, at public outcry, the papal pardons for sin, known as "Indulgences." Originally, an Indulgence was a financial deal, by which the Roman Catholic violator of church rules could square himself with the ecclesiastical lords; just as the peasants, under the Feudal System, could pay money to the landlord and escape menial service, or military conscription. But as the Papal usurpation grew in power, it naturally grew also in greed. Each successful aggression encouraged the popes to attempt another; and so it was. that the Bishops of Rome finally became Gods-on-earth, in the eyes of devout, superstitious Catholics. It logically follows that, if we have a God on earth, this God can forgive sins. Inasmuch as the popes load, in the course of a thousand years, reached that monstrous height of self-assertion, they changed the original doctrine of Indulgence. What had formerly been nothing more than the remission of church penalties (similar to the remission of a fine by one of our courts) became a pardon for sin. This preposterous usurpation of God´s power was carried to such extreme lengths, that the popes sold Indulgences which wiped out all crimes past, present, and future; and the price to be paid was set against each crime, in a regular scale, just as you would list the prices of a number of books, of horses, of goods in a store, or of saleable articles at a church fair.
