"A way to reduce the amount of punishment one has to undergo for sins" is a quote I got for Indulgence. From my own personal knowledge of the subject, the Catholic Church was selling Indulgences claiming that you will be forgiven to an extent if you buy this Indulgence. Martin Luther had disagreed with this, because selling Indulgences was unholy. To be forgiven, you have to have spoken to God for yourself, not buying a piece of paper from the Catholic church claiming you are forgiven. I had researched this on Wikipedia to verify my knowledge of the subject was correct. I also agree with Martin Luther on this, being that you shouldn't be able to buy forgiveness, instead earning it by talking to God.
