Do you really believe that "whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven" means that the Church can get people off-the-hook for sins they haven't repented, or are you just arguing to be vexatious?

And if you do believe this what does it mean for questions of free will, death, judgement, heaven, and hell?  And did Christ have his fingers crossed behind his back ("just kidding!  My friends will wave their hands and it'll all be OK") when He called sinners to repentance?
