thing you could do to get time off of Purgatory : help the piteous , unpaid worker , and now … follow the Bishop of Rome on Twitter .
So next hebdomad is Catholic World Youth Week in Rio . Attending is one way to knock down the days on your Purgatory stay . But so is following along on Twitter . grant to Vatican official , if you follow@Pontifexfor the Catholic Fest , you ’ll earn indulgence , or get out of hell free card . As you may retrieve from your AP European History class , those are the matter that get a bad rap in pre - Reformation time because the church was sell them for draw and pot of money .
So while you might not be directly buying indulgences today , you could manifestly win them via societal media savvy . But , the church service says , it does n’t count if you just click the blue follow push and never check back again . You have to be an participating follower and also generally penitent . Perfect chance to hashtag everything # hallow . [ The Guardian ]
