Document Summary
Albrecht of mainz hohenzollern: magdeberg/halberstadt. Fuggers: a wealthy family of german banking. Indulgences/crusades: why do merchants what to sell the indulgences. The fuggers know that indulgences are very popular and will make them rich. No one could serve more then one diesis. So all of the surplus good dead"s from the saints/jesus are put in a spiritual bank called treasury of merit. Urban says i have the keys to this account and i will essentially wire transfer it to you. Urban: the service you are offering as warriors is a great one and meritorious action. aka here"s some forgiveness: for those who can"t go on crusade, they help those who are. Id: somewhere in the middle of heaven and hell, heck suffering and purification, a scary reality, kinda good but kinda bad. Its not a place but a state of existence between heaven and hell. In heck, you go through suffering and purification by the sins you did not confess.
