Here's a site that explains fully the Catholic doctrine on indulgences and how to obtain them. (Ye Separated Brethren, fear not, it's not what you think). I bring this up because starting tomorrow on All Souls Day and for the entire week, we have the opportunity to really do something wonderful with our paltry, self-centered little lives --to send some souls to heaven. No one ever speaks of these things any longer, so the incredible graces available during this week go unclaimed, I fear. Read up --and then take advantage.
UPDATE: From Zadok the Roman, a great All Souls Day post, including a little tidbit about Italian buses.
