I seem to recall a little thing called the Inquisition?

Selling indulgences?

To which inquisition do you refer? There were several, you know.

And the Church never sold indulgences, though many of her members did. It was to curb such abuses that the Council of Trent was held and the practice of granting indulgences reformed.
