catholic indulgences

I need a picture of what a Catholic Indulgence looked like during the medieval period. Any facts you know would also be useful, but all I really need is the picture! Thank you.

OK - we are all condemned to death because we are all sinners.
The Catholic Church needed tons of dough, so they came out with this thing called "indulgences" to get people to pay up for divine intervention (false) and keep them from going to hell. Remember, 99.9% of people believed in God and Satan then. (not so now) The church interceeded on behalf of Christ (which they cannot do) to offer salvation (which they cannot do) to keep people from going to hell. (which they cannot do)
How the Catholic Church has survided peddling the lies they have is the truly amazing thing!

If I go to confession, the sin is completely gone right? There is no time in purgatory for what I confessed, correct? So right now, what purpose does an indulgence serve? Venial sins I forgot to confess or something?

P.S. Protestants: Yeah, yeah, yeah, the R.C. Church is the Whore of Babylon and the Pope is the Anti Christ. Heard it all before. Since I already heard that, you are not obligated to inform me. Thanks just the same.

INDULGENCE
"The remission before God of the temporal punishment due to sins forgiven as far as their guilt is concerned, which the follower of Christ with the proper dispositions and under certain determined conditions acquires through the intervention of the Church, which, as minister of the redemption, authoritatively dispenses and applies the treasury of the satisfaction won by Christ and the saints" (Pope Paul VI, Apostolic Constitution on Indulgences).

As originally understood, an indulgence was a mitigation of the severe canonical penances imposed on the faithful for grave sins. The term "indulgence" remained, however, even after these extreme penalties were discontinued. Yet until the Second Vatican Council, the norm for determining the effectiveness of an indulgenced practice was its relationship to the ancient canonical penances, as seen in the numbers, so many years or so many days, attached to every official listing of partial indulgences.

All this changed by Pope Paul VI. From now on the measure of how efficacious an indulgenced work is depends on two things: The supernatural charity with which the indulgenced task is done, and the perfection of the task itself.

Another innovation is that partial and plenary indulgences can always be applied to the dead by way of suffrage, asking God to remit their sufferings if they are still in purgatory.

Long enough to bankcrupt my grandmother who had to pay for indulgences when my mother died (back in 1950).
That was the most evil thing I have ever personally witnessed.
