Detailed explanation-1: -indulgence, a distinctive feature of the penitential system of both the Western medieval and the Roman Catholic Church that granted full or partial remission of the punishment of sin. The granting of indulgences was predicated on two beliefs.
Detailed explanation-2: -Plenary and Partial (1471) A plenary indulgence removes all temporal punishment due to sin. A partial indulgence removes part of the temporal punishment.
Detailed explanation-3: -You cannot buy one-the church outlawed the sale of indulgences in 1567-but charitable contributions, combined with other acts, can help you earn one. There is a limit of one plenary indulgence per sinner per day.
