Indulgences

---

If you are Roman Catholic and do not want to stay
in Hotel Purgatory even one more extra day
then find yourself a bishop who will make your wish come true
by granting an indulgence quicker than you can say "boo".
These mitred wiseguys have an in, so they can intercede.
(They also would be happy to explain the Nicene Creed.)
Of course old Martin Luther thought indulgences were crap;
his anger tore the church apart like some great thunderclap.
Protestants and Catholics to this day can't agree
on whether mortals have a say about eternity.
I hope that in the next life we will live in peace that's grand;
but only if religions will forever remain banned.
