|||
*47. Christians are to be taught that the buying of pardons is a matter of free will, and not of commandment. |
|||
*48. Christians are to be taught that the pope, in granting pardons, needs, and therefore desires, their devout prayer for him more than the money they bring. |
|||
*49. Christians are to be taught that the pope's pardons are useful, if they do not put their trust in them; but altogether harmful, if through them they lose their fear of God. |
|||
*50. Christians are to be taught that if the pope knew the exactions of the pardon-preachers, he would rather that St. Peter's church should go to ashes, than that it should be built up with the skin, flesh and bones of his sheep. |
|||
*51. Christians are to be taught that it would be the pope's wish, as it is his duty, to give of his own money to very many of those from whom certain hawkers of pardons cajole money, even though the church of St. Peter might have to be sold. |
|||
*52. The assurance of salvation by letters of pardon is vain, even though the commissary, nay, even though the pope himself, were to stake his soul upon it. |
|||
*53. They are enemies of Christ and of the pope, who bid the Word of God be altogether silent in some Churches, in order that pardons may be preached in others. |
|||
*54. Injury is done the Word of God when, in the same sermon, an equal or a longer time is spent on pardons than on this Word. |
|||
*55. It must be the intention of the pope that if pardons, which are a very small thing, are celebrated with one bell, with single processions and ceremonies, then the Gospel, which is the very greatest thing, should be preached with a hundred bells, a hundred processions, a hundred ceremonies. |
|||
*56. The "treasures of the Church," out of which the pope. grants indulgences, are not sufficiently named or known among the people of Christ. |
|||
*57. That they are not temporal treasures is certainly evident, for many of the vendors do not pour out such treasures so easily, but only gather them. |
|||
*58. Nor are they the merits of Christ and the Saints, for even without the pope, these always work grace for the inner man, and the cross, death, and hell for the outward man. |
|||
*59. St. Lawrence said that the treasures of the Church were the Church's poor, but he spoke according to the usage of the word in his own time. |
|||
*60. Without rashness we say that the keys of the Church, given by Christ's merit, are that treasure; |
|||
*61. For it is clear that for the remission of penalties and of reserved cases, the power of the pope is of itself sufficient. |
|||
*62. The true treasure of the Church is the Most Holy Gospel of the glory and the grace of God. |
|||
*63. But this treasure is naturally most odious, for it makes the first to be last. |
|||
*64. On the other hand, the treasure of indulgences is naturally most acceptable, for it makes the last to be first. |
|||
*65. Therefore the treasures of the Gospel are nets with which they formerly were wont to fish for men of riches. |
|||
*66. The treasures of the indulgences are nets with which they now fish for the riches of men. |
|||
*67. The indulgences which the preachers cry as the "greatest graces" are known to be truly such, in so far as they promote gain. |
|||
*68. Yet they are in truth the very smallest graces compared with the grace of God and the piety of the Cross. |
|||
*69. Bishops and curates are bound to admit the commissaries of apostolic pardons, with all reverence. |
|||
*70. But still more are they bound to strain all their eyes and attend with all their ears, lest these men preach their own dreams instead of the commission of the pope. |
|||
*71. He who speaks against the truth of apostolic pardons, let him be anathema and accursed! |
|||
*72. But he who guards against the lust and license of the pardon-preachers, let him be blessed! |
|||
*73. The pope justly thunders against those who, by any art, contrive the injury of the traffic in pardons. |
|||
*74. But much more does he intend to thunder against those who use the pretext of pardons to contrive the injury of holy love and truth. |
|||
*75. To think the papal pardons so great that they could absolve a man even if he had committed an impossible sin and violated the Mother of God -- this is madness. |
|||
*76. We say, on the contrary, that the papal pardons are not able to remove the very least of venial sins, so far as its guilt is concerned. |
|||
*77. It is said that even St. Peter, if he were now Pope, could not bestow greater graces; this is blasphemy against St. Peter and against the pope. |
|||
*78. We say, on the contrary, that even the present pope, and any pope at all, has greater graces at his disposal; to wit, the Gospel, powers, gifts of healing, etc., as it is written in I. Corinthians xii. |
|||
*79. To say that the cross, emblazoned with the papal arms, which is set up [by the preachers of indulgences], is of equal worth with the Cross of Christ, is blasphemy. |
|||
*80. The bishops, curates and theologians who allow such talk to be spread among the people, will have an account to render. |
|||
*81. This unbridled preaching of pardons makes it no easy matter, even for learned men, to rescue the reverence due to the pope from slander, or even from the shrewd questionings of the laity. |
|||
*82. To wit: -- "Why does not the pope empty purgatory, for the sake of holy love and of the dire need of the souls that are there, if he redeems an infinite number of souls for the sake of miserable money with which to build a Church? The former reasons would be most just; the latter is most trivial." |
|||
*83. Again: -- "Why are mortuary and anniversary masses for the dead continued, and why does he not return or permit the withdrawal of the endowments founded on their behalf, since it is wrong to pray for the redeemed?" |
|||
*84. Again: -- "What is this new piety of God and the pope, that for money they allow a man who is impious and their enemy to buy out of purgatory the pious soul of a friend of God, and do not rather, because of that pious and beloved soul's own need, free it for pure love's sake?" |
|||
*85. Again: -- "Why are the penitential canons long since in actual fact and through disuse abrogated and dead, now satisfied by the granting of indulgences, as though they were still alive and in force?" |
|||
*86. Again: -- "Why does not the pope, whose wealth is to-day greater than the riches of the richest, build just this one church of St. Peter with his own money, rather than with the money of poor believers?" |
|||
*87. Again: -- "What is it that the pope remits, and what participation does he grant to those who, by perfect contrition, have a right to full remission and participation?" |
|||
*88. Again: -- "What greater blessing could come to the Church than if the pope were to do a hundred times a day what he now does once, and bestow on every believer these remissions and participations?" |
|||
*89. "Since the pope, by his pardons, seeks the salvation of souls rather than money, why does he suspend the indulgences and pardons granted heretofore, since these have equal efficacy?" |
|||
*90. To repress these arguments and scruples of the laity by force alone, and not to resolve them by giving reasons, is to expose the Church and the pope to the ridicule of their enemies, and to make Christians unhappy. |
|||
*91. If, therefore, pardons were preached according to the spirit and mind of the pope, all these doubts would be readily resolved; nay, they would not exist. |
|||
*92. Away, then, with all those prophets who say to the people of Christ, "Peace, peace," and there is no peace! |
|||
*93. Blessed be all those prophets who say to the people of Christ, "Cross, cross," and there is no cross! |
|||
*94. Christians are to be exhorted that they be diligent in following Christ, their Head, through penalties, deaths, and hell; |
|||
*95. And thus be confident of entering into heaven rather through many tribulations, than through the assurance of peace. |

Vandalism
As a former Wikipedia vandal myself I know that it doesn't pay to vandalize Wikipedia... SO DON'T DO IT
My user page has just been vandalized two more times by 62.197.126.10 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log). If he vandalizes my user page again, I will give all of his personal information away.--Kind Regards, Holocron 19:40, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
Hmmm... it seems that user: 20qmaster is either watching my edits or is the same person as 62.197.126.10 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log). I have a feeling that my user page has been vandalized by the same person, or groups of people.--Holocron 03:23, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
I have found that 62.197.126.10 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) is a school I.P. Every time I tell them to stop vandalizing, 20Qmaster (who must have an inferiority complex) thinks that I am telling him to stop vandalizing. He goes off the deep edge and starts vandalizing my userpage.--Holocron 13:15, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
Photos
Here are some of my photos:
To the left is a picture that I took while I was in Northern New Hampshire. The picture is of The Gorge, which is, you guessed it, a gorge. It is truly a spectacular sight. The sound of a distant waterfall can be heard from the beginning of the trail. The water fall sounds much bigger than it actually is (because of the sound echoing off the sides of the gorge). If you ever get a chance, visit The Gorge in Northern New Hampshire.
Below is Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire's largest lake and "the sixth largest lake in the US". This picture, taken by yours truly, from an estate on top of a nearby mountain. The lake looks comparatively smaller from the top; even so it still a sight to behold.
Cars
Who doesn't like cars? I love 'em, especially exotics.
My new car!!! I wish. The Lamborghini Murcielago is one of my favorite cars. I'm about $350,000 short of the $350,000 price tag, though. This car packs 6.2L V12 DOHC 48V 12cyl Gasoline powered engine, which can produce 540 horsepower. That'll get you to the grocery store and back.
Cars Update 01/21/06
Wow, I cannot belaive my eyes! I just saw, less than a mile from my home, a jet black Murcialago coupe. Wow. I swear I have never seen a car more amazing in my life. I look forward to seeing it again.
Happy Editing,--Holocron 21:32, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
