The Vatican Grants Plenary Indulgences To Catholics Who Take Break From Video Games, TikTok and Twitter/X
In celebration of the Jubilee Year, which Roman Catholics celebrate every quarter century, the Vatican has released its list of plenary indulgences, including everything from traveling to Rome to abstaining from distracting video games and social media apps.
In Romanist theology, nearly every Christian who passes away goes to purgatory. Here, even though their sins are forgiven, believers still need to be punished for their sins and cleansed from their attachment to their dark desires before they can go to heaven. This may take five years, five hundred years, or even five thousand and more.
Lucky for them, access to indulgences is one way to fast-track the process, reducing the time spent in purgatory either for yourself or a loved one.
Roman Catholics believe that there exists a treasury of merit, a “super-abundant store of righteousness and good works belonging to Christ, the Virgin Mary, and the saints” that the pope alone can “pull from” whenever he wants to transfer the earned merit of some people to others.
A plenary indulgence removes all temporal punishment due to sin and helps purgatory-bound souls get to heaven much faster. According to the Vatican, it applies to sins already forgiven and “cleanses the soul as if the person had just been baptized.”
Some of the things people can do that can earn them “two plenary indulgences for the deceased in one day:”
-Fasting at least one day a week from “futile distractions” such as social media, television, video games, certain phone apps. (Editor’s note. Surely TikTok and Twitter/X would apply)
-Visit any local Cathedral, Marian Shrine, or other special church designated by the local bishop for obtaining the Jubilee Indulgence.
-Make a Pilgrimage to Rome and pray for the Pope’s intentions in any one of the Four Major Papal Basilicas (St. Peter’s Basilica, the Archbasilica of St. John Lateran, St. Mary Major, or St. Paul Outside the Walls) or any of the special Jubilee churches listed by the Apostolic penitentiary in Rome.
-Make a pilgrimage to one of the following churches in Italy: Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi, Basilica of Our Lady of the Angels in Assisi, Basilica of Our Lady of Loretto Basilica of Our Lady of Pompeii, Basilica in St. Anthony in Padua, OR in the Holy Land: Basilica of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem, Basilica of the Nativity in Bethlehem, Basilica of the Annunciation in Nazareth.
-Perform an extraordinary work of mercy such as a generous gift to the poor, or visiting nursing homes or prison.
-Participate in diocesan or parish sponsored spiritual exercises, missions, or formation activities based on the documents of the Second Vatican Council or the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
It’s a sick, sick system, but we’d expect nothing less from this corrupt and polluting false religion.

I played for a catholic church for their Saturday mass which was interesting to observe for a year. The priest had zero depth to his “sermons” especially anything rooted in the Bible and would even change up their baptism reading with “I will not use TikTok or Facebook.” The people would answer “yes, father”, but of course they didn’t do anything. It got to be every single week he would say something about not using TikTok or Facebook where I would roll my eyes each time. Interesting that their anti-christ pope calls next year the year of jubilee.
If the pope wasn’t a libtard then he would have offered a plenary indulgence for voting for Trump. If you believed you had the power to give out plenary indulgences for people doing a specific act, and you weren’t pro-LGBTQP+, that’s what you’d do.
