X. Indulgences

We
also call these spiritual goods of the communion of saints the Church’s treasury,
which is “not the sum total of the material goods which have accumulated
during the course of the centuries. On the contrary the ‘treasury of the
Church’ is the infinite value, which can never be exhausted, which Christ’s
merits have before God. They were offered so that the whole of mankind could be
set free from sin and attain communion with the Father. In Christ, the Redeemer
himself, the satisfactions and merits of his Redemption exist and find their
effficacy.”⁸⁷
