Bergoglio came out and condemned abortion and gmarriage, however oddly. By his standards, it was a rather strong condemnation.

If form is anything to go by, we can count on him to come up with an extremely scandalous headline over the next week, and given  the relative strength of orthodoxy in his statement condemning these evils, we can expect the scandal to be quite grave.

It's what he does, and he has been doing it for quite a while now, and he does it with remarkable predictability and consistency.

An unusually good entry on the Catholic Herald entitled "Why Catholics should defend indulgences" gives a good account on indulgences.

It is a very good explanation on why they are a good that should not only be defended but promoted, and shows that it is entirely in line with Christian apostolic tradition.
