What was the Catholic practice for exchanging money for forgiveness?
There was NEVER a Catholic practice of exchanging money for forgiveness, you are mistakenly asking about indulgences which have nothing to do with offering forgiveness for sin. In fact, one must already be absolved from sin to be eligible to earn an indulgence. An indulgence is a remission of the temporal punishment due for already forgiven sin. An indulgence may be earned by an act of penance, the classic acts of penance were prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Due to the stink raised by Martin Luther in the sixteenth century, we can no longer obtain an indulgence for almsgiving. The act of exchanging money for forgiveness would fall under the sin of simony (the name is taken from the story in Acts 8:9-24) and is - and always was - strictly forbidden.
