What did the Catholic Church immediately promise to anyone who died fighting in the Holy Land?
Several popes issued a plenary indulgence to anyone who died by fighting the infidel in the Holy Land. Please understand that the Holy Father issuing a plenary indulgence does not guarantee anybody anything. To gain the plenary indulgence, you must meet all the conditions set out for it. These conditions are the same as are currently in effect: you must first of all be in a state of grace, in other words, you must have no unforgiven mortal sin on your soul, which, in most cases, necessitates a recent good confession. Secondly, you must have no attachment to sin, even venial sin. This last is a HUGE obstacle to gaining a plenary indulgence, as attachment to venial sin would mean any affection for even the most trivial of sins. Lastly, you must have made a good Communion on that day (that you died), and have said prayers for the Holy Father. If the Holy Father issued a plenary indulgence, if you fulfilled all the requirements, and then went and died in battle that day, you would be loosed from the effects of your forgiven sin. The indulgence does NOT forgive sin, it only applies to the effects of already forgiven sins.
