Do not fill this in! ===History=== In the Catholic Church, a [[rescript]] of [[Pope Pius VII]] and subsequent decree of the [[Vicar General for the Diocese of Rome|Pro-Vicar Cardinal]] of 18 April 1809 introduced a 300-day indulgence for whom would recite with heart [[contrition|contrite]] and devoutly, on behalf of a suffering faithful, 3 [[Our Father|''Our Fathers'']] in memory of the [[Passion of Jesus|Passion and agony of Jesus]] and 3 [[Hail Mary|''Hail Mary''s]] in memory of the pains of the Virgin in the presence of her divine son. Furthermore, for those who have performed this pious practice at least once a day for a month, they granted plenary indulgence, and the [[Forgiveness|remission]] of all [[sin|sins]] on a day of their choice in which they had confessed, communicated and prayed according to the intentions of the Pope at the time. These indulgences ''"are perpetual"'' and can be applied to [[souls]] in [[Purgatory]].<ref>{{cite book|author=Giovanni Sacchetto|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=bkH0_EqXXKUC&q=Indulgence+plenary+|page=321|title=Collection of prayers and pious works for which the Supreme Pontiffs granted the s . indulgences|year=1837}}</ref> Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
