Inhaltsangabe

This book, which is concerned with the role of the Roman Papacy and Roman law throughout history, delves into the debate over the validity of a document purporting to outline a set of fees set by papal authorities for the absolution of various sins. The author, a respected bishop, refutes the notion that the Roman Chancery ever issued such a statute, and shows that the document in question is likely a forgery, meant to cast aspersions on the Catholic Church. The author also offers a broader historical and theological analysis of indulgences, and their role in the Catholic Church. Ultimately, this book provides an insightful corrective to a common misconception about the papacy and its practices.
