- When we hear about indulgences, we are typically talking about indulging in sweets or about the sale of indulgences prior to the Protestant Reformation. In this video, I explain how the idea of indulgences developed as a type of penance in the Catholic Church before becoming commercialized in the Late Middle Ages. The practice originated in the granting of pardons by martyrs to lapsed Christians. During the High Middle Ages, the Pope promised a plenary indulgence to everyone who participated in the Crusades. In the Late Middle Ages, the sale of indulgences became acceptable when the Church needed money to finance projects like the Rouen Cathedral's "Butter Tower." A protest agains the sale of indulgences formed the centerpiece of Martin Luther's 95 Theses. In response to the complaints of Protestants during the Reformation, the Council of Trent ended the sale of indulgences, but did not renounce the pope's right to grant them. Indulgences continue to exist today in the Catholic Church - they just can't be sold.
People... do not be deceived.
Galatians 2:16
Yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.
The Pope has no authority to say how anything should be justified or practiced it’s Jesus Christ alone who came to full fill the law and it is only HE you should follow not what another sinner has to say.
Romans 3:23
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
Repent of your sins and become renewed by the Holy Spirit. Be born again and adopted into Christ’s kingdom. Only then will you walk along side our savior and act as he did.
If I may correct your teaching on the Catholic doctrine of indulgences: indulgences arent given for the forgiveness of sins, they are given for the remission of temporal punishment do to the sins which have already been forgiven. After christ forgives our sins, Christians still must pay the consequences for the sins they commit; a good example of this is king David's sin.
Yo I love your channel Tom, my Ap Euro teacher literally has a website dedicated to your videos for studying/reviewing. Keep up the good work bro
I am a descendent of New England Colonist. A question I have is what parts of England did they come from?
Good work really made me understand what an indulgence is.
Thanks to you i got a pretty good mark in British civilization thank you Tom
I didn't know Mark Wahlberg had a history channel
Where is the Bible and scripture to support this practice?
Thank you
I like this channel but this topic needs to be taught with 100% accuracy. Please amend.
Hi, Tom. I´d like to make a few comments about your video.
Indulgences are about the temporal punishment due to sins. It works like this: first, one needs to repent, and then confess their sins to a priest or bishop. The sins are forgiven, but the temporal punishment of sin remains. For example, if a person dies immediately after confession, they might still have to go through Purgatory. Noone stays in Purgatory forever and everyone there goes to Heaven after their purification.
So the person in your example who “killed a guy” would not have his sin forgiven through indulgences. First, he needed to truly repent and confess. That´s what would grant him forgiveness. The indulgences could only help him with the temporal punishment.
You can see a good explanation for indulgences in the Catechism of the Catholic Church numbers 1471 on.

I have a question,
My question is, has anyone ever came back from the dead, to confirm this theory, for this is not in the bible.
@@echoofthevoiceinthewildern3008 Yes, Jesus Christ came back from the dead. This fact confirms all catholic faith. But that´s not the case here. You don´t need to have faith to know that the explanation in the video incorrect according to what the Catholic Church teaches and practices)

So why did jesus go to purgatory then, if he had no sin?
Why would any catholic have to go to purgatory, if jesus already paid for their sins,
Jesus said we cant pay for our sins to go to heaven, only jesus can do that, we as individual, for our rightiousness is like filty rags
Basically cathosism is saying purgatory is a partial self way of salvation
For this is how I understand it my friend
Not judging anyone but helping one see, that we can't do nothing for our selves when it come t salvation, all we can do is repent and except his gift at the cross and at all times be ready for our time to come to this end, after death judgment take place.
@@echoofthevoiceinthewildern3008 I never said that Jesus went to Purgatory. If you really want to learn about Purgatory, you could start with the following videos:

@@echoofthevoiceinthewildern3008 C. S. Lewis tells you why you should like Purgatory
Though he was Protestant, he loved this Catholic teaching.

The butter tower makes me feel a lot better about all the catholic guilt I got growing up lol
Great video, I never realized that the word indulgence has such a history behind it!
doof
Nothing cringy-er than a non-Catholic trying to explain an indulgence. Sheesh! This is like watching a flat-Earther explain the globe. Dude, find a Catholic who knows what they are talking about, or get your facts from something other than a Dan Brown novel.
Being Catholic it always made me mad when my history teacher had no clue what an indulgence was the remit temporal punishment in purgatory they dont send yiu to heaven.
But they can get you to heaven faster.
Indulgences don’t forgive sins. Confession was always required for that.
Yeah but confession and faith ain't enough, right Pope-lover?
Mario1611
Correct. Also, I don’t like Pope Francis.
amen sir
@@stevied3400 facts stephen, facts.
The theological explanation of indulgencies is wrong. The rest very useful.
Never ever ever heard a proper explanation or understanding of Indulgences by someone who is non Catholic. Almost like a mental block, something they can't wrap their heads around even highly educated individuals
That new background is fire! Great content per usual!

Wasn't there also a transition into the idea of money purchasing an indulgence because those who did not actually go on crusade could still support the cause financially?
Finally! A nice clear explanation of a very fuzzy-headed time for the Church. That must have been a huge drop in revenue with recent The Sistine Chapel and funding the Crusades (et al.). Who was putting money in the collection plate afterwards?
Please can you make a brief presentation of Abraham??? That is how Christians and Muslims describe his story...I’ve a test next week on it.thanks
What a well-intentioned but ungodly practice !
Hi I’m Ms.K student we LOVE your videos❤️❤️ I need to study to thank you
"The Pope has the authority to forgive sins", are you sure?
Only God can forgive sins. Don't let them fool you.
not only the pope , but each and every catholic priest can forgive sins through the sacrament of confession . this is due to the fact that christ gave his apostles to forgive sins in the bible . and after their death through apostolic succession this power is given to the successive generations.
Where in the BIBLE it says that Jesus give authority for men to forgive sins instead of God
Only by faith in Jesus is a man made righteous, and confession of that faith brings salvation. Not confession of sins to a man in a box.
@@venitawilliams9625 "3 If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you withhold forgiveness from any, it is withheld.” john 20:23 It's not the Priest forgiving the sins that matters, but God forgiving the sins. When the priest forgives the sins, God does.
Indulgence is some thing to involve in Sins and then punishment take place..
Augustans are not agree with indulgence
