Urbi et Orbi Message?

[4givemeasinner]

I may be mistaken but is there a temporal indulgence for listening to the Urbi et Orbi message? If yes, is it still received if one hears it via YouTube?

 

[RosalieM]

Yes there is an indulgence involved if viewed on t.v., internet or listened to on the radio.

 

[bemily]

The indulgence is plenary when the normal conditions are fullfilled: confession, mass and prayer for the pontiff.

 

[RosalieM]

Is the plenary indulgence obtained when confession happened within a week, then communion the day before seeing Urbi et Orbi? Prayers for the pontiff were done before the blessing.
And I’m not clear on what is meant by “attachment to venial sin.”. Any (name removed by moderator)ut is appreciated.

Both Confession and Communion should be done several days before or after the work is performed, while preferably Communion and the prayers for the Pontiff should happen on the same day. Cf. ourladyswarriors.org/indulge/norms.htm#plenary%20conditions

As to attachment to venial sin, Baltimore Catechism, No. 3 says in other words:

Q. 845. Is it easy to gain a Plenary Indulgence? A. It is not easy to gain a Plenary Indulgence, as we may understand from its great privilege. To gain a Plenary Indulgence, we must hate sin, be heartily sorry for even our venial sins, and have no desire for even the slightest sin. Though we may not gain entirely each Plenary Indulgence we seek, we always gain a part of each; that is, a partial indulgence, greater or less in proportion to our good dispositions.
