Alex, the Church doesn't "sell" indulgences any more.

I'm sorry - who were you trying to have an argument with? When did I say the Church still does?

You said: "In other words, indulgences are the Church's offer of an opportunity to repent of sins monetarely."

I am not trying to cause an argument, however, I fail to see how an indulgence could be monetary repentence without being sold. Also, I fail to see how somebody could read the foregoing article and make the suggestion which you did.
