IndulgencesWhat is an Indulgence?

Indulgence• An indulgence is a document (a piece of

paper signed by the pope) given by the pope to people; that excused that person for sins that he or she had committed while they were alive.

Why on Earth would a personpay good money for a Certificate of Indulgence?

An indulgence was supposed to reduce the time a person spent in purgatory.

Does anyone know what purgatory is?

PurgatoryCatholics believe that this is a place where your soul goes to in order to pay for your worldly sins before you can go to heaven. Depending on how much you sinned is going to determine how long you will spend in purgatory.

The selling of Indulgences
