people paid indulgences to lessen their punishment in purgatory

in countries that are like 90% catholic like the philippines they were definitely an issue

infact had they just listened to luther the reforms would've been done and the church would've merely grown stronger

one of filipino national heroes like Jose Rizal even wrote a book that criticized this particular issue

the issue comes up when the church became increasingly stubborn to change

indulgences themselves aren't necessarily monetary

they are essentially something you do to forgive your sins

like a sign of repentance essentially

that was the idea

but because that can mean just about anything

but some churches abused that

things like donating to the church was an indulgence

the issue was the monetary use of them not the concept itself

infact confessions still have a form of it but they don't always call it the same thing

Anywho if the west was more orthodox/fundamental with the scripture otherwise known as a literal interpretation, christian women would wear veils in churches

*Anyhow?

Anywho is also correct

yes

Anywho is classified as slang

Pretty much a misspelling
