"The Vatican is set to open five sacred portals starting on Christmas Eve for the first time in 25 years."
"The opening of the Holy Doors marks the beginning of the 2025 Jubilee which is a year of forgiveness, reconciliation and renewed focus on the spiritual life."
"According to church teaching, Catholics who confess their sins during this time are forgiven and therefore released from the eternal or spiritual punishment of damnation." FULL STORY at above link.(This is ludicrous that Catholics confessing their sins at this time when 5 sacred portals are open will save them from eternal spiritual punishment of damnation as they can confess their sins at any moment and at any time of the year because 1 John 1:7says, "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin." And 1 John 1:9 says, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." These Bible verses make no mention of 5 sacred portals having to be open during a certain time of the year to make a confession of sins to the Lord.)
