HowManyPlenaryIndulgences MayOneGain:IsItDifficult?

"AListener,"Collie, asksseveralquestions aboutplenaryindulgences whichIshallansweras brieflyasIcan.

Firstyouaskifaplenary indulgencecanbegained morethanonceonthesame day.

R.:Yes.Itistruethat theplenaryindulgenceattachedtomanygoodworks andprayerscanbegained onlyonceaday.Forinstance,nomatterhowoften yourecitethewell-known prayerafterHolyCommunionbeforeanimageofChrist crucified,youcangainonly oneplenaryindulgencefor thatprayeronthatday.

AngelusRemindsOfGreatestEvent ThatEverHappenedOnEarth

"Constant," Perth,TheAngelusisaprayer writes:"WhyisthebellwhichCatholicsholddear, runginyourchurcheson week-daysattimeswhen itisnotlikelytobethe invitationtoservice?"

R.:YouareprobablyreferringtotheAngelusbell, whichusuallyringsthree timesadaytoinviteCatholicstotheprayercalledthe Angelus.Itisathree-part prayer,andthebellisrung beforeeachdivisionandet theconclusion.

R.:Bynomeans.Firstof all,"paradise"doesnot meanheaven.Itisthe wordusedintheSeptuagint versionoftheScripturesto describetheGardenof EdenintheBookofGenesis(chap.2).Thewordis ofPersianoriginanddenotedoriginallyanenclosedparkorpleasuregrounds. Nomanenteredheaven untilChristrosefromthe deadonEasterSunday.

Whatthewordsyouquote meanisthatthesoulofthe goodthiefwastogowith thesoulofChristtothe limboofthejust.Anyway thetextisnoargument againstpurgatory.Tosay that,becauseofthetorrentialmercyofthedying Saviour,onesinnerescapes purgatory,itdoesnotfollow ..thatthereisnopurgatory. Ifoccasionallyachildis bornwithonlyonehand, thatdoesnotindicatethat two-handedchildrendonot exist.

Yournextquestionis:

"InSt.Matthew,chapter1. whyistheancestryof ChristtracedthroughJoseph andnotthroughMary?"

R.:Simplybecauseitwas ',universallytheHebrewcustom.Inrecordingancestry theJewsignoreddescent fromthefemaleline.St. Joseph,asthelegalhusband ofMary,isregardednsthe legalfatherofChrist. thoughSt.MatthewiscarefulnottostatethatJoseph wasalsotherealornatural father.InJewishrecords ofancestry,adoptiveor fosterfathersaregiventhe sameplaceasnatural fathers,sincethemother's branchdidnotcount.
