Understanding the Concept of Indulgences

Indulgences are seen as a means of obtaining grace through the merits of Christ and the saints. These indulgences are not earned independently or through manipulation but are considered gifts from God to aid in one's spiritual journey. The church serves as a mediator of these merits, allowing individuals to access and benefit from them by following specific acts outlined by the church.
