Exhibit 410 ยท Papal constitution
Constitution Quam plenum (abolition of letters sold by Spanish prelates granting confessors and indulgences for a price)
Addresses prelates in Spain who published letters under which, for a fixed payment, the holder could choose any confessor, receive absolution in reserved cases and indulgences, and which a table posted in churches priced. The pope abolishes those letters and indices and imposes suspension on prelates and excommunication on lesser persons. Bullarium Romanum (Taurinensis) vol. 7, constitution CXXII, repeated as CLI (1570). It concerns confessional letters in Spain, and is not the general 1567 revocation.
