Prepent?

[JAHS]

Here's a video from my son showing a clip from a movie called Avocado Toast he is working on as the editor. Is it possible to prepent for a sin you are going to commit? 😉

Indulgences? (The caricature of them)

Sure, but you may not like the prepunishment !

I can't imagine a more heinous thing --- it would be like flipping off the Savior.  Prepenting if intentional and real, would make sinning impossible.  And there is nothing worse than setting up one's sin trying to avoid consequences (though I suppose there is some honor in trying to protect innocents from as much as possible).

Indulgences do not bring forgiveness of sin. What they do is remove the consequences of sin.

They also build St. Peter's Basilica, which is a buttress of beauty against the ugliness of evil.
