Decree for Plenary Indulgence for the Year of St. Paul Released

I guess we need to get the Pauline Year stuff started :) Father Z has the details on the Indulgence at Decree for Plenary Indulgence for the Year of St. Paul . For those of us that will not be able to make it for Rome the Church provides in part:

"Christian faithful from the various local Churches, under the usual conditions (sacramental Confession, Eucharistic communion, prayer in keeping with the intentions of the Supreme Pontiff) and completely unattached to any form of sin, may still obtain the Plenary Indulgence if they participate devotedly in a religious function or in a pious exercise held publicly in honour of the Apostle of the Gentiles: on the days of the solemn opening and closing of the Pauline Year in any place of worship; on other days determined by the local ordinary, in holy places named for St. Paul and, for the good of the faithful, in other places designated by the ordinary".

Lets hope Bishops are on the Ball and start thinking about this
