If you cared to read the article, you would find that the Council of Trent outlawed the practice of selling indulgences. That was almost half a millenium ago. If you cared to read the article, you would find that while some types were outlawed, others were not and that the practice is increasing under Joey Rats.

The problem was selling the indulgences, not the indulgence themselves. Indulgences don't forgive sin, they remit the temporal punishment associated with sins, since Christ gave the power of binding and loosing to the Church.

Can you be specific about what indulgences were not outlawed. I think you are mistaken.
