Catholic bashing commencing in 5...4...3...2...1... Nah, paying for an indulgence is no sillier than sending money to a Jimmy Swaggert or a Revernd Ike for a 'Prayer Rug' guaranteed to do something or other.

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.

We don't pay for indulgences. They are given freely. That is one of the biggest misunderstandings about the Catholic Church.
