Over 300 years ago.Roman Catholic AnswerThe Church, itself, has nothing to repent of. The doctrine of indulgences is, and always was, sound. The practice of some individuals in the past, as always, has been fraught with errors. This individuals were corrected, and measures were taken to avoid abuses in the future. The doctrine of indulgences is perfectly okay.

Catholic AnswerOf course Catholic beliefs do not contradict the Bible, that is a logical impossibility. Members of the Catholic church wrote the books of the New Testament and the Church through several Ecumenical Councils and the Popes' consent approved the New Testament canon as we have it today. The Council of Rome in A.D. 382 is the one that approved the New Testament as we have it today, and Pope Damasus promulgated it. Catholic beliefs are based exclusively on what Our Blessed Lord taught, and the Bible was part of the Catholic Church's preaching. The Bible was made up of those books which were read at Mass. Baptist and Biblical answer:There are many beliefs that contradict the bible in Catholic doctrine.1. Catholic doctrine teaches baptism washes away sin.According to the scriptures the only thing that takes away sin is faith in the shed blood of Christ. The thief on the cross was never baptized yet Christ told him he would go to paradise with him.2.Catholic doctrine teaches sprinkling for baptism and infant baptism.Both are unscriptural. Every one who was baptized in the bible was an adult, who FIRST professed faith in Christ, then the were baptized by immersion (to picture the death, burial and resurrection of Christ.)3. Purgatory is a Catholic doctrine, but is found no place in the bible.4. Prayers to the saints are taught in Catholicism, but are never taught in the bible and actually end up being a form of idol worship.There are many other "extra-biblical" things taught in the Catholic church.Also the protestant bible and the catholic bible are different.The Protestant (KJV) does not include the apocrypha, the Catholic bible does.And it wasn't members of the Catholic church who wrote the New testament.The history of the Catholic church shows it was formed 300 years after Christ was on earth, under Constantine. You will not find the Catholic church in the bible. Nor a pope, in spite of what Catholic doctrine teaches. The church was formed upon Jesus Christ, NOT Peter as Catholic doctrine asserts.
From 1787 to 1957 this doctrine existed.

The Catholic Church wasn't happy. For a thousand years they had controlled government and society. They were the connection between man and God. The idea that man could seek God for himself was against the church doctrine. They were loosing control.
The doctrine of the Anglican Church under Elizabeth was Catholic! Not Roman Catholic , that was considered as being full of medieval additions, here in England these had been cleared out by the Reformation.What was the Anglican Doctrine? Firstly they believed that the Catholic faith and orders had been brought here by S.Joseph of Arimathea. Not likely however, but the faith had been here since shortly after the Death of Christ! The Church doctrine was set at the beginning of the Reformation [ Convocation 1536/7/42 ,by Parliament in 1558 and confirmed by Convocation in 1572 and inspite of all pressures has remained constant. The belief was in the Revelation of Christ, which was recorded in scripture and confirmed interpreted, and explained by the Seven Ecumenical Councils of the First Thousand Years. It was confirmation of the Apostolic College and the authority of the Catholic Bishops. The magisterium of the papacy had been rejected firmly, but at no time did the Anglican Church reject the Roman Church on the continent!
