Question
reciently, I purchased a Pardon Crucifix and read the instructions concerning these invocations. There was mention on"seven years and seven quarantines" What are Quarantines? And what is the position of the Church on Indulgences? How does one know the days and years and plenary times? Who said all this?

Answer
Sue,

There is a ton of information on these subjects on line. Please consult the following web sites. Both have links leading to more information:
