In means that you are talking about an Indulgence that was issued prior to Paul VI's overhaul of indulgences. Partial indulgences (Pope Paul VI's term) used to be issued in days, quarantines, months, years, etc. The measure of time was based on the amount of time from the old Irish penitentiaries - the Irish monks made up list with a certain penance assigned for each sin you confessed, thus adultery might earn you six years on bread and water. A quarantine in the old terminology meant a period of 40 days, it corresponded to one Lent. There are no indulgences expressed in time anymore, so if the penance is contained in the new Enchiridion it would be a partial indulgence

What is an indulgence by the pope?
Catholic AnswerA papal indulgence is just an indulgence which has been granted by the Pope for the benefit of all the faithful. By the way, it is exactly the same thing now as it was five hundred years ago, except that there aren't as many available for alms. from Radio Replies, by Fathers Rumble and Carty, 1942994. I have heard Catholics speak of indulgences for the souls in purgatory? What are indulgences?Do not mix up the ecclesiastical term indulgence with the modern idea of self-indulgence. An indulgence is not a permission to indulge in sin, but is a remission of punishment due to sin. Now in the early Christian Church certain sins were punished by long public penance, sometimes for days, at other times for years. But the Church was often indulgent, and loosed or freed Christians from all or part of their public penance, if they showed other good dispositions, or performed certain works of charity. The Church had that power in the name of God as surely as the state has the power in its own name to commute a sentence or even release a criminal altogether under certain circumstances. Christ said to the Church, "Whatsoever you shall loose upon earth shall be loosed in heaven." Matt. XVIII., 18. That the merits of Christ and of the Martyrs and Saints of the ages are at the disposal of the Church is also a consequence of the doctrine of the Communion of the Saints. And that power of commuting or even of remitting penances and expiations exists in the Church to-day, being exercised by the granting of indulgences.995. What do you mean by an indulgence, say, of forty days?An indulgence of forty days means that the Church liberates us from that amount of expiation of our sins which would be equal to a forty days' public penance in the early Church. It does not mean forty days less purgatory. Such an indulgence is called a partial indulgence.997. Can indulgences be applied to the souls in purgatory?Yes, but by God alone. We can but ask Him to accept indulgences on their behalf. But we can certainly offer them with a definite conviction of their normal acceptance by God for those we love, even as we can share our goods in this life with more needy friends. This too is implied by the doctrine of the Communion of Saints.
