Does theology matter? Specifically, the doctrine of justification as spelled out so clearly in the Reformation? I was directed to this clip from Catholic Answers Live this morning, and it very well illustrates the answer. I often explain indulgences to non-Roman Catholic audiences, and they just stare at me in amazement. Often I get the feeling that they are sceptical as well. “Sure, maybe Rome taught that hundreds of years ago, but today? No way!” Well, indulgences are still very much a part of the Roman system. Here’s a brief clip proving the point.

The above and the video below was on Dr. James White’s Facebook feed, Dr. White is from Alpha & Omega Ministries. You may be wondering, and yes, the practice of Plenary Indulgence is real and happening today.

Take a look at the video from Catholic Answers with Karlo Broussard answering a lady caller with a question about plenary Indulgence.
