Indulgences. Can you pay to have someone who is dead taken from Purgatory by paying an indulgence? That was taught by the Popes.

Practice versus teaching. Indulgences are still given, though the practice (not teaching) of indulgence granted for monetary contributions to the Church are explicitly forbidden by the Council of Trent. The practice was an abuse.
