(Adnkronos) - Con il giubileo, ogni fedele della Chiesa cattolica può chiedere l’indulgenza plenaria, la remissione dei peccati. Che valore ha l’indulgenza per la Chiesa e per i credenti? Lo spiega Andrea Tornielli, direttore editoriale media Vaticani

00:00 There is a mysterious word that accompanies the Jubilee.
00:04 Indulgenza. What does it mean?
00:07 Let's remember that precisely from indulgences and a too mercantile conception
00:12 that was tied to the offerings in money of the faithful,
00:16 the controversy of Martin Luther against the Pope began.
00:22 But what is it about?
00:24 The Church believes and teaches that something of the evil we have done
00:30 remains in our heart and in our body,
00:33 even after we have confessed and been forgiven.
00:37 Indulgenza works precisely at this level.
00:40 On certain special occasions, confessing, visiting the basilicas and praying,
00:46 it is possible that all the consequences of the evil done are washed away.
00:51 In short, it is a special gift that brings the soul back to baptismal purity
00:57 and is given to us thanks to the particular help of the saints
01:01 who preceded us and who accompany us.
