Plenary Indulgences - General Conditions

https://oracionesydevocionescatolicas.com/nine_prayers_saint_gregory.htm
I highly doubt any pope ever, gave over 14 million years for a single prayer/devotion.
Also from the same site in the recitation of the Seven Sorrows Rosary, at each group of prayers it says "Make a wish" REALLY????

I didn't even look at the link but ... :laugh1:

I guess a Pope COULD give such an indulgence since the Merits of Our Lord are infinite.  If it's true, I'm on it.  Hopefully even I'm not bad enough to have earned more than 14 million years in Purgatory, but just in case I can do them on Friday to get double that amount.

From the link:


Quote
Pope Innocent VIII, granted the following indulgences to those who prayed the nine prayers:


 Each day: 14,185,149 years of indulgence.
 Each Friday: double the amount.
 On Holy Friday: 8 Plenary Indulgences.

:facepalm::laugh1:

Who came up with this? And how do you get multiple plenary indulgences at once? Eight at once? Each one resets your slate completely to zero, so how does this happen eight times simultaneously?

In any case, that whole site is absurd.

Indulgences are all listed in the Raccolta. In fact, that's the official directory of all indulgences currently on offer by the Church. The latest edition, the one you see commonly re-printed, is from the 1940s, I believe. If it's not in there, it's not an indulgence. :cowboy:

Replying to a 17-year-old thread ...

I was wondering why I didn't recognize any of the posters.  :laugh1:

Well, you could in theory get more than one the same day (it's true on All Souls Day) and they can, by God's Mercy, be applied to souls in Purgatory.  With 14 million years too, people should have some extra they can offer for souls in Purgatory.  But I'm OK with more than 1 per day.  I'm not sure it's 8 at the same time, but 8 on Friday.
