Indulgences and the Year of Jubilee.(Brief Article)

Catholic Insight | January 1, 1999| | Copyright

Last November Pope John Paul signed a papal bull ("bulla" is Latin for "seal") formally proclaiming the Jubilee Year 2000 as a Holy Year. It will begin on Christmas Eve, 1999, and end on the Feast of the Epiphany, January 6, 2001.

The bull also names Bethlehem, Jerusalem, and Rome as special centres for the Holy Year and recommends pilgrimages to these places so important to Catholics.

On Christmas Eve, 1999, the Pope will inaugurate the Jubilee Year by opening and entering a special door at the Lateran Basilica in Rome. This door was first used to open a ...
