MGB:_The Lord was rather clear that those who have been forgiven but who have not forgiven others will be given over to the torturers until their entire debt is paid. Can one buy a forgiving spirit? I guess you can if you buy indulgences for people you have yet to forgive, but not yourself. Indeed, unless and until modern indulgences include the element of the forgiveness of others as an active thing, they are simply an exercise in bad nostalgia.
