Have you ever wanted to commit adultery, but been too worried about your immortal soul? If so, the Catholic Church's new offer could be the bargain you've been waiting for!

We know it's not easy to be a good Christian in a world filled with temptations. There's always the thought that one day you'll have to spend time in Purgatory, paying the price of your worldly sins. But now, the Catholic Church is pleased to bring back a few of those simple Medieval values you thought we'd lost.

With our exclusive new incentive program, finally you can afford all those sins you enjoy so much. Pay today, sin tomorrow, with our Classic Indulgences®!

The idea is simple. Just follow the step by step instructions below, and you get an Indulgence®. Each Indulgence point is redeemable in Purgatory for instant forgiveness from one confessed sin -- you can think of it as your own personal Get Out Of Sin Free coupon! Indulgences are available exclusively from the Catholic Church, starting on January 1st 1999.

But that's not all. You don't have to use an Indulgence for sins you've already enjoyed -- you can qualify for the program now, and save the Indulgence for use later on, when you need to sin! Your Indulgence points never expire. You can collect up to one a day, and you can keep them for life.

Perhaps there are new sins you've been itching to try? If so, now's the time to start saving, as Indulgences will be available for a limited time only! Simply follow the steps below to get started, or contact your nearest authorized Catholic Priest to enroll.

Remember: Indulgences make great gifts for your dearly departed loved ones. What could be a more thoughtful gift for a dead relative in Purgatory than an Indulgence to ease their way into the afterlife?

"For those naughty but oh-so-nice moments."

Available exclusively from the Catholic Church, starting January 1st 1999.
