'ere, Messiah M, you are right you know and it was a mighty co-incidence (read 'hand of god') that the words 'plenary indulgence' popped into my head unannounced this morning. I was pondering on how to make more money for our church when said phrase sprang to mind. I remembered my history lessons when various clergy used used to sell time off in purgatory using these plenary indulgences. Now, the Catholic church has disassociated with all such things which leaves a gap in the market.

Anyone who is feeling guilty about their perfectly normal sexuality due to bigotry induced psychosis should come to us. For £20 or so we can sell them a plenary indulgence or, better still, an aabsolute pardon. Now, you may think this is cynical preying on the vulnerable but that is far from the truth. What we are offering is a service and services should be paid for. What is more we are far cheaper than a trick cyclist, we remove all the guilt and fear of punishment and considering the number of people who have had their lives ruined by other religions we could make a bomb.

Sorted!
