An indulgence, in Catholic Theology, is the full or partial remission of temporal punishment due for sins which have already been forgiven.

Indulgences replaced the severe penances of the early Church.

Abuses in granting indulgences were a major point of contention when Martin Luther initiated the Protestant Reformation (1517).
