| Dec 29, 2022 at 11:34 | comment | added | Anne | A 2019 Q asked if ancient indulgences decreed by previous Popes are still valid. It referred to a 1676 book saying indulgences are granted to people who wear their rosary. The one answer given shows the complexity of arriving at any answer. It gave a link to 1967 new rules by Paul VI (which may, or may not be, helpful for this Q). christianity.stackexchange.com/questions/69509/… | |

See McNeill & Gamer's Medieval Handbooks of Penance: A Translation of the Principal "Libri Pœnitentiales" and Selections From Related Documents. | |
