The term indulgence is related to the concept of sin, or actions in opposition to God's laws. In Luther's time, when a person did something that was considered a sin, he or she was required to confess the sin to a designated church authority (usually a priest). The person then had to undergo a penance (punishment) that the authority prescribed (depending on the nature of the sin). In the context of the church, an indulgence was a statement by the pope exempting a group of people from specific penances by virtue of good deeds they had performed. Indulgences were often published in written form.

The sentence "Free nations will press on to victory" relates to the central idea in the sense that:

b. It supports the main point that this is an ongoing fight that America will not abandon.

Explanation:

President Bush addresses how America has declared war against terror, and how that battle shall continue for as long as is necessary. Even though the troops are going home after serving, the mission continues. Terror is not over and, therefore, the war against it is also not over. America, as the free nation it is, will not accept terror to instigate fear among its people or to curb that people's freedom. When he says, "Free nations will press on to victory," he is supporting that point, the main one: the mission continues, the war against terror is not over. America will keep on fighting.
