Indulgences, Really?

Pardon me whilst I get up on my Lutheran soapbox.  Catholics, I love you, I really do. But honestly?

This is why I continue to not understand Catholics.  They create law after law after law to uphold their religion, yet it really seems like all they can do with it is forget about God.  I hold great respect for Catholics. They believe in the same God and Savior I do, and for that I cannot fault them. 

I was going to say more, but I'll leave it at this:  There's a difference between penance and repentance.   Human priests cannot forgive sin, only God can.

Alright, I'm getting off the soapbox.
