Indulgences were a sort of "pass "to avoid temporal penitence for sins that had been committed. It didn't forgive the sin, but allowed it to go unpunished initially. In the Orthodox church, these were given by way of absolution certificates.

∙ 12y agoYou are probably referring to indulgences. And indulgence is the removal of some of the temporal punishment, either on earth or in Purgatory, caused by sin. It can be either partial (reduce) or plenary (eliminate). Indulgences can be gained by certain acts, or may be officially given by the pope or bishops on special occasions. At one point, certain priests and even bishops who were eager to get money began giving indulgences in exchange for donations. Although the Vatican condemned this practice, it took a long time to completely suppress it, and it helped to spark the Protestant Reformation.
