Roman Catholics can shorten their time in purgatory for a contribution to the church

I can't believe this, but it's in the New York Times . . . the Roman Catholic church has brought back indulgences where you can shorten your time in purgatory, the time before your eternal fate is decided.

The Protestant Reformation was brought about by this practice which Martin Luther shined the light on and caused a split in the Roman Catholic Church between the Catholics and the Protestants.

Do people actually believe that kicking in a few extra bucks will make a difference in your purgatory time in the afterlife?

Anybody see these at their church?

Have you bought one for yourself?  Someone else?
