The Host. I brought it from Amsterdam. I have an Indulgence.
This line has me slightly confused. IANARC but in my understanding an indulgence is some good work that gets the doer a reduction in time in purgatory. Is Van Helsing saying that, because of his good works, there is some priest in Amsterdam willing to provide him with communion wafer for vampire hunting? Or is the Church of Ireland raised (i.e. protestant) Stoker garbling catholic doctrine?
