Episode notes
Four revered Catholic churches in Rome have “holy doors” that have been sealed for almost ten years but are now being opened by the pope for a Jubilee year in 2025. Catholics who pass through those doors are promised a plenary indulgence (an escape from all punishment awaiting them in Purgatory). Millions of pilgrims will be headed to Rome during the coming year. Is this a powerful rite or just an empty ritual?
