During the early 1500s, many people purchased indulgences as a means to reduce their time in purgatory or to secure forgiveness for sins, believing that this could ensure their salvation or the salvation of loved ones. The Catholic Church promoted indulgences as a way to fund various projects, including the construction of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, which further incentivized their sale. Additionally, the widespread fear of death and the afterlife, coupled with the Church's authoritative stance, made indulgences an appealing option for many seeking spiritual reassurance. This practice contributed to growing discontent that eventually fueled the Protestant Reformation.

When did the Catholic Church get rid of indulgences?

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.
