INDULGENCES

The doctrine and practice of indulgences in the Church are closely linked to the effects of

the sacrament of Penance. "An indulgence is a remission before God of the temporal pun-

ishment due to sins whose guilt has already been forgiven, which the faithful Christian

who is duly disposed gains under certain prescribed conditions through the action of the

Church which, as the minister of redemption, dispenses and applies with authority the

treasury of the satisfactions of Christ and the saints." "An indulgence is partial or plenary

according as it removes either part or all of the temporal punishment due to sin." The

faithful can gain indulgences for themselves or apply them to the dead. To understand this

doctrine and practice of the Church, it is necessary to understand that sin has a double con-

sequence. Grave sin deprives us of communion with God and therefore makes us incapa-

ble of eternal life, the privation of which is called the "eternal punishment" of sin. On the

other hand every sin, even venial, entails an unhealthy attachment to creatures, which must

be purified either here on earth, or after death in the state called Purgatory. This purifica-

tion frees one from what is called the "temporal punishment" of sin. The forgiveness of sin

and restoration of communion with God entail the remission of the eternal punishment of

sin, but temporal punishment of sin remains. While patiently bearing sufferings and trials

of all kinds and, when the day comes, serenely facing death, the Christian must strive to

accept this temporal punishment of sin as a grace. He should strive by works of mercy and

charity, as well as by prayer and the various practices of penance, to put off completely the

"old man" and to put on the "new man." An indulgence is obtained through the Church

who, by virtue of the power of binding and loosing granted her by Christ Jesus, intervenes

in favor of individual Christians and opens for them the treasury of the merits of Christ

and the saints to obtain from the Father of mercies the remission of the temporal punish-

ments due for their sins. Thus the Church does not want simply to come to the aid of these

Christians, but also to spur them to works of devotion, penance, and charity.

The Holy See announced Oct. 5 that Pope Benedict XVI has granted a plenary indulgence

for the Year of Faith, which will last from Oct. 11, 2012 to Nov. 24, 2013. One plenary

indulgence per day may be gained by an individual, which they can use for themselves or

apply to a soul in purgatory. The indulgence remits the temporal punishment due to sins

whose guilt has already been forgiven. During the Year of Faith, there are four means of

gaining an indulgence. First, by attending at least three sermons “during the Holy Mis-

sions” or reading at least three lessons from the documents of the Second Vatican Council

or the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The second way is by making a pilgrimage to a

basilica, catacomb, cathedral, or location designated by the local bishop for the Year of

Faith, and either participating there in a sacred celebration, praying or meditating. The act

of prayer should finish with an Our Father, a recitation of the Creed and a prayer to the

Blessed Virgin Mary. The third method of gaining an indulgence is by participating in

Mass or the Liturgy of the Hours on a day chosen by the local ordinary, and reciting the

Creed. Finally, people can visit their place of baptism and renew their baptismal promises

there. Those who cannot attend such celebrations for serious reasons may still obtain the

indulgence if they pray an Our Father and a Creed and other prayers that agree with the

objectives of the Year of Faith. A plenary indulgence also requires that the individual be in

the state of grace, have complete detachment from sin, and pray for the Pope's intentions.

The person must also sacramentally confess their sins and receive Communion up to about

20 days before or after completing the other acts. The Year of Faith is meant to “recall the

precious gift of faith” and “its correct interpretation.” It marks the 50th anniversary of the

opening of the Second Vatican Council. Its opening also coincides with a general synod of

bishops on the New Evangelization.
