14. I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.

"Prompt: What do we mean by the word “indulgences”? What may common indulgences be, and do you have any indulgences?"

"Indulgences" has a long and checkered history. It has always meant to allow something. She wanted a kiss so I "indulged" her. Indulgences though was a 7th-century theology that the church at the time believed allowed a person to pay for discretions in advance. It was a sort of payment that permitted the sinner to commit a certain number of sins with no consequences. It was a false doctrine of course.
