en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indulge... "By the late Middle Ages, #indulgences were used to support charities for the public good, including hospitals. However, the abuse of indulgences for almsgiving, so that they became a method of moneyraising or ignored the requirements for contrition or charity,"

WTF!

I see that Agent Orange and the Dogey Gang have replaced FEMA with him and Melania praying for people, though he doesn't mention which deity they are praying to.

I wonder when he will realise that he could start charging for those indulgences.

5. with the #fashion #police, daily acts of terrorism were carried out by the state, mostly AGAINST WOMEN in the growing cities.

in cities it was easy to confuse a peasant with a noblewoman for what they wore. that’s why policing people’s clothes was an actual thing with different costs for penalties.

#INDULGENCES, that thing Martin Luther protested? those were almost always tied to fashion penalties. the rich saw indulgences as a tax to pay so they could have the latest silks from China…

I think they are called "#indulgences" and not invented by #Trump

For solarpunks, the ability to hold two conflicting concepts in one’s mind is necessary when it comes to carbon offsets, in order to walk the tension that is life in late capitalism: understanding that the program can be used for good or for evil and is currently being used for both, necessitating a deeper, more thorough look through what exactly constitutes a particular carbon offset program.

@georgetakei
Why is #ChristianNationalism a bad thing?
The last time we let Christians be in control of everything, we got the #Crusades, the #Inquisition, the selling of #indulgences and people literally being tortured and beheaded for the crime of being the wrong kind of #Christian. Thank you, no further questions

I'm still looking for the lavatory.

I'm all for planting trees; but #carbonOffset = "for every pedestrian I run over in my #SUV I will create 10 yards of pedestrian zone in Antarctica".

Or, check out the concept of #indulgences , e.g. https://www.historyextra.com/period/medieval/indulgences-catholic-church-what-why-sold-absolution-sin-reformaton/

So very tired of being #doxxed and #abused because I am #queer and a #bishop. I am tired of the #threats, #harassment, #bullying and the lack of common curtesy. People think that since I am a bishop I must be solemn, prudish, and live as a monk. I am not allowed to have any #fun, #friends, #indulgences, or time to myself. They use my #sexuality and #gender against me like a bully club. God forbid I be a #humanbeing! Oh, and I am not allowed to have #emotions either. /end rant

i beg your indulgence. your... plenary indulgence. the little paper is not from the #BookOfCerne for the record :)

Bought some fancy pants coffee from the Italian market last night. The packaging was full of so much information. Intensity scale, which recommended brewing methods, flavor notes, decorations, and some seemingly random Italian. This morning’s coffee was AMAZING. Can I afford this all the time? Heck no. Few times a year? Heck yes. #coffee #mornings #money #indulgences #delicious
