While we were discussing the "news" about indulgences here (and here) at dotCommonweal, the producers of the Canadian public radio program As It Happens contacted our office looking for someone to talk to them about this suddenly hot topic. That's how I ended up on CBC Radio One last night trying to explain how the whole confusing system works. You can hear the six-minute segment on the As It Happens website: Click on "Listen to Part 3" and skip ahead to 22:47. How did I do?
