To carry on this discussion from a locked thread:
Julio:
Quote..you cannot have any indulgence whether plenary or partial... The forgiveness of sins is .....
QuoteCan. 993 An indulgence is partial or plenary insofar as it partially or totally frees from the temporal punishment due to sins......Freeing from sins is helpful to salvation of soul by mercy and grace of God.

Above are two statements from Julio (I cut out all references to Pope Francis as being besides the point). In which he mistakenly affirms that indulgences are for the "forgiveness of sins" (???).
Here is the definition of Indulgence from the "Traditional Catholic Dictionary":
QuoteIndulgence, n.; L. The remission in full or in part of the temporal punishment due to sin which already has been forgiven.
One cannot gain a plenary or partial indulgence unless one is in the state of grace.

"The World Must Conform to Our Lord and not He to it." Rev. Dennis Fahey CSSP

"My brothers, all of you, if you are condemned to see the triumph of evil, never applaud it. Never say to evil: you are good; to decadence: you are progess; to death: you are life. Sanctify yourselves in the times wherein God has placed you; bewail the evils and the disorders which God tolerates; oppose them with the energy of your works and your efforts, your life uncontaminated by error, free from being led astray, in such a way that having lived here below, united with the Spirit of the Lord, you will be admitted to be made but one with Him forever and ever: But he who is joined to the Lord is one in spirit." Cardinal Pie of Potiers
