There has been quite a lot of weighty stuff in A La Carte over the past couple of weeks. So I saved up some humorous links that may just let you begin your weekend with a laugh. Enjoy!

    How To Obtain a Plenary Indulgence in 2025

    I think we can sometimes fool ourselves into believing that the Reformation caused the Roman Catholic Church to abandon some, most, or all of the doctrine that was so concerning to the Reformers.
