Indulgent Quantity

"By the late Middle Ages, indulgences were used to support charities for the public good, including hospitals.[8] However, the abuse of indulgences for almsgiving, so that they became a method of moneyraising or ignored the requirements for contrition or charity, had become a serious problem which the church recognized but was unable to restrain effectively."

"In 1567, Pope Pius V forbade tying indulgences to any financial act, even to the giving of alms. Reforms in the 20th century largely abolished the quantification of indulgences, which had been expressed in terms of days or years."

  • I felt the same, and I want sports to be a vehicle for teaching people about fitness, and teamwork. I am not sure I still do, it so often dissolves into toxic competition, self harm, injury, violence, riots and a general us against them attitude.

    I hope people get good things from sports and avoid the bad things.

  • I picture those who didn't embrace geek culture or esthetics, leaning more towards jock and fraternity culture instead, but who saw money in computers.

    There must be in-groups whom the law protectes but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."
