According to http://www.catholic.org/prayers/indulgc.php:
"You don't hear about indulgences anymore, at least not in Catholic circles. If it could be said that at one time they were over emphasized, it's surely true that today they're under-emphasized. Many Catholic simply don't know what indulgences are, and they're at a loss to explain the Church's position on indulgences when challenged by fundamentalists."
"Since some Catholics were confused by the designation of days and years attached to partial indulgences, and since nearly all Protestants got a wrong idea of what those numbers meant, the rules for indulgences were modified in 1967, and now "the grant of a partial indulgence is designated only with the words "partial indulgence," without any determination of days or years," according to the Enchiridion."
To sum it up, Catholics do not use indulgences anymore. Pages team
Promotion Team The Catholic Church never got rid of their indulgences. At the Council of Trent there was a debate about whether to remove their indulgences or to keep them. They ended up reaffirming the indulgences and selling them as before. The Catholic Church kept believing that indulgences could free them from Purgatory, even now!! While, the Protestants kept fighting against the doctrines. Now, in the present, the people debate often for the right answer.
