What this country needs is a return to the concept of swift and certain justice. if we need more courts, judges and prisons, then so be it. and as for capital punishment, i say let the punishment fit the crime?

Indulgences were a way of tricking catholics into giving the church money. johan tetzel was preying on the citizens of germany by making them think that the purchase of papal indulgences was legitimate, and necessary. they demoralized the catholic church, as well as the catholic people. indulgences taught that in order to achieve salvation one did not have to be good, he simply must have the money to buy an indulgence.
