Basically, indulgences could be purchased in order to reduce the punishment you were owed for your sins. Buy an indulgence for a love one, and they would go to heaven and not burn it hell.

It was a corrupt practice to make money during the time of Reformation.

The Pope sold pardon certificates called ‘Indulgences’. Sinners could purchase pardon in this life and after, by paying a stipulated sum of money. The fact that forgiveness could be purchased as a commodity, became a major issue of protest.
Hope this helped. :)
