'A plenary indulgence may remove

all the temporal punishment due to forgiven sin.

No one but God knows for certain

when a plenary indulgence is actually gained,

because only He knows whether

a person's dispositions is adequate.

One norm for such dispositions is that

"all attachment to sin, even venial sin, be absent."

If these dispositions are in any way less than complete,

the indulgence will be only partial.

The same provision applies

to the three external conditions

necessary to gain a plenary indulgence;

sacramental confession, Eucharistic Communion,

and prayer for the intentions of the Pope.

If these conditions are not satisfied,

an otherwise plenary indulgence becomes only partial.

These conditions may be satisfied several days

before or after the performance of the prescribed work,

though preferably Communion should be received

and the prayers offered for the Pope

on the same day as the indulgenced work.

A plenary indulgence can be gained only once a day.'
