The practice of granting an indulgence, which is the remission of temporal punishment due to sin (i.e., remission of restitution) have not ended. In fact, the Catholic Church has an official book of indulgences that is still in use today. What has ended was the corrupt practice of selling indulgences. The practice of selling indulgences was a problem that existed at least from the late 1300s till the early to mid 1500s. In fact, it was one of the "theses" that was pointed out by Martin Luther on his 95 Theses in 1517. By the mid-late 1500s, however, the practice of selling indulgences had largely died out.
