Question

What were indulgences and how were they used? (your answer should be 3-4 sentences long)​

Answer 1

Indulgences were fake “ tickets to escape purgatory”. The people of the Middle Ages were depressed and only had one religion, catholosizm. These preachers would go around and sell indulgences to people. They said that if you buy indulgences you won’t have to have punishment in purgatory.
