Indulgences are back, say they were never really gone.
Man, this brings back memories. One of my Catholic educations was four years at ye olde catholic school, where Vatican II was obeyed but looked at with jaundiced eyes. So we had our Catechisms from the 1950's, which depicted a sleeveless dress as "not covering enough". And Headless Jesus, appearing in an aura of light to scold wrongdoers.
My favorite? Ejaculations! Saying "My Jesus Mercy" whenever you'd hear an ambulance pass was supposed to get you three years off your time in Purgatory in what I eventually called the Catholic Calculus.
I'll have to look up more on the different equations later.
