Questioning certain teachings of the Church
« on: February 05, 2019, 07:32:31 PM »
Lately I've been questioning certain beliefs of the Roman Catholic Church:

  • Indulgences and the treasury of the saints
  • The idea of temporal punishment.




Can anyone help with this? I guess the main thing i've been wondering is whether these are ancient (early church) teachings or whether they began to be believed over time.

Thanks

Maybe if you were to spell out what problems you have with these questions, it would help you to think through the questions. It sounds like you want somebody to sort out your problems when we don't know what issues you have with these things.

Anyway, good to see you back!

I was wondering if these things were believed and taught in the early church, at least implicitly, or if they came about over time.

These things were taught by the early Church. There is an example of how the Jews sent money for sacrifices for their slain soldiers. There are two types of punishment enumerated by Jesus, the punishment that is eternal (Hell) and the punishment where you will not depart until the last farthing is paid. There is also some stories of those who were relieved by the elevation of the Host during Holy Mass.
