Detailed explanation-1: -The first known use of plenary indulgences was in 1095 when Pope Urban II remitted all penance of persons who participated in the crusades and who confessed their sins. Later, the indulgences were also offered to those who couldn’t go on the Crusades but offered cash contributions to the effort instead.
Detailed explanation-2: -While reasserting the place of indulgences in the salvific process, the Council of Trent condemned “all base gain for securing indulgences” in 1563, and Pope Pius V abolished the sale of indulgences in 1567. The system and its underlying theology otherwise remained intact.
Detailed explanation-3: -Pope Julius II authorised the sale of indulgences. After his death, Pope Leo X used them to raise money for building the St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome.
