Default Pope forgives sins?!?

Hi

"At least 400,000 registered for World Youth Day Organisers expect a million people will attend Benedict XVI’s final mass. Some 30,000 are working as volunteers. The Pope will concede plenary indulgence to all those who participate."


"On this occasion, the Pope has granted the plenary indulgence to all those who will present in Cologne"

Pope will forgive sins of people who goes to "world youth day"?!?

What did Pope exactly say?

Thank you...

Default Re: Pope forgives sins?!?

I don't know what he said, but that's not what an indulgence is. An indulgence is the remission of part or all of the temporal punishment due to sin. One of the requirements for an indulgence is Sacramental Confession, during which forgiveness of sins would occur.
