medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
I understand the Vatican position to be that they request forgiveness for
whatever sins they have committed, however gross or all-encompassing.
However, the nature of repentance means that the Vatican wants to make a
distinction bewteen what it has *actually* done wrong and what it is
*perceived* to have done wrong.
As in one of the previous emails, there is not point beseeching heaven for
forgiveness of a sin which was not committed and only appears in public
misconception. This scholarship is attached to the search for the sin
committed. Not in order to lessen the seriousness of whatever sin it
ultimately transpires *was* committed.
