    You or your family can pay an exorbitant sum of money to have you “redeemed”

    Why exorbitant? The Catholic Church did indulgences centuries ago.

      The point is that they’re doing shit that is considered heretical by most denominations and yet insisting the whole time they are true blue god fearing Christian folk.

        No no, I know what you’re saying. But to me your post kinda read like your story was introducing something new (maybe I didn’t read it properly). I was just pointing out that the concept of “pay to sin” was literally employed by the Catholic Church before.
