| The Renaissance had attracted many more pilgrims to Rome, and they brought in massive new revenues, but they were soon spent and the Church needed much, much more.

| 文艺复兴吸引了越来越多的朝圣者前往罗马，这些朝圣者们也给罗马带来了新的巨额财政收入，但是这些钱很快就被花完了，因为这些钱根本填不饱教会的肚子。于是，16世纪初，教皇们开始发掘一种特别的教皇业务来筹措更多的资金——出售宽恕。这种业务6世纪就已经有了。很简单。人们花钱以使他们的罪过得到宽恕。出售宽恕赚得是盘满钵满，他们甚至想出了一个更聪明点子。人们可以花钱去提前宽恕他们还没犯的罪过。教皇把罪过变成了一项生意。对罪过的滥用发生在上帝之城的中心，这激怒了很多基督徒。多年以来，文艺复兴时期的教皇们靠堕落和腐败兴旺发达。但是出售宽恕结果是有点太过了。我去过一个宫殿，描绘出当时文艺复兴时期罗马城摇摇欲坠的景象。 |
