The Church never did. Some unscrupulous members of the Church violated canon law and did so.

Yep, in 1517 Pope Leo X offered indulgences for those who gave alms to rebuild St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. Unscrupulous church member Pope Leo X.

Offered. For those who gave alms.

Offered. Gave alms.

No sale.

Thanks for proving my point. The Church did not sell indulgences.
