Yah, that makes sense. In all honesty, the idea that God could be real, but also not disgusted by the Catholic church (i.e. the indulgences would work) just honestly had never even occurred to me. I feel like if God were real He would hate the indulgences-era Catholic church more passionately than any mere mortal ever could.
Anyway it’s all good I hope, sorry about being sort of a dick in my response.
Considering his son chased the money changers out of the church by whipping them with a rope, in possibly the only display of Jesus being angry in the entire Bible, I’m pretty sure God would not be happy about indulgences being sold for money.
Edit: in keeping with the theme of your original comment, I’m agreeing with you, not trying to explain to you that which is the underlying premise of your statement.

Yeah, I see what you mean. And no worries, I understand your frustration, it’s all good!
