I've studied the history of indulgences for years. And yes, I know that the Catholic sites disclaim the existence on indulgences. I happen to believe that indulgences are as rampant today as they were the day that Martin Luther nailed his theses on the door.

How else could all these priests walk away scott free after molesting boys for so many years.

Indulgences are not purchased; they are earned. FYI

You clearly don't even know what an indulgence is.

I give up. You tell us what this has to do with indulgences, particularly since the priests in question aren't dead, for the most part.

Hint: an indulgence is not a permit to commit a sin, any more than "time off for good behavior" in a federal prison is a license to go out and commit a crime.
