“Popes promised participants in the First Crusade a plenary indulgence should they die in battle, that is, a complete remission of any outstanding temporal punishment for their **unrepented **mortal sins and hence release from suffering in purgatory” (The Western Heritage, 8th edition, Donald Kagan/Steven Ozment/Frank M. Turner, page 234. Emphasis added.)

This quote was taken from my college history textbook. An oversight? What say you?

I believe that you found an error in that textbook.

Oversight? More likely ignorance of what the Church REALLY teaches. What type college is this?

This is the textbook they use to teach Western Civilization at Thomas Edison State College in Trenton, New Jersey. I am taking the class as a correspondence course.

Should I inform the instructor? I will need a reference to a catechism or a church document of that time (16th century).

Try this page - and scroll down for versions of the speech of Urban II at the Councuil of Clermont ##
 
Whoops, my mistake, I got this mixed up. This would not be 16th century. It was during the first crusades.
 
In regard to your post:

“Preceding push to Palestine, popes promised pulseless participants plenary payoffs!”

I think the text has the right idea, but names the wrong belligerent. Shouldn’t it read something like:

“Imams incite illiterate infantry to incisive incivility by intimating inhumed ingratiation!”

Just a thought mind you,
