Best Answer
Roman Catholic AnswerA pardon (for sin) sold by a priest would be simony. This is a very serious sin, it is named after the individual who tried to buy the priest's sacramental power from the apostles. Any time someone would try to charge money for a sacrament, it would be simony, and, obviously, a sin. Another answerThat would be called a dispensation.

Priests do not sell pardons. An 'indulgence' is only sold by the Pope of Rome. The Orthodox Church does not sell pardons, they are given freely by priests and bishops.
