13 dic 1516 año - Pope Leo X authorized the sale of indulgences to fund the rebuilding of Saint Peter’s Cathedral in Rome
Descripción:
An indulgence served as a pardon for sins, allowing the purchaser to avoid the penance or “good works” normally required by believers for forgiveness.
- While an indulgence was not supposed to replace God’s right to judge, Catholics were given the impression that they could purchase a free pass to heaven for themselves or a loved one.
