Believe it or not, yes. It's one of the things about Catholicism (along with trotting out relic bones of dead saints) that causes our Protestant brethren to think that we're completely koo-koo.

The only thing that the Reformation changed in Roman Catholicism was that they don’t SELL indulgences any more... publicly.

What Luther objected to was that people were asked to pay money for indulgences.
That doesn’t happen anymore.
