Indulgences are the remission before God of the temporal punishment due to sin whose guilt has already been forgiven, available to the faithful under certain conditions prescribed by the church. That is the official definition by the Catholic Church. Indulgences has caused many problems in the past because they sold indulgences a long time ago. When one person stood up against the sale of indulgences, he changed his view of the church and criticized the church in almost every issue creating the Protestant Reformation. The church no longer sells indulgences but offers them if the person who wants an indulgence follows a particular physical and/or spiritual journey. Everyone in the world should try to have indulgences because they reduce our length in purgatory.
