Question 8 • English Language Arts 12

Which statements accurately describe medieval pardoners? Choose three correct answers.

Answer
A
They accepted donations for the Church.
B
They translated the Bible into English.
C
They distributed indulgences.
D
They were authorized to preach.
E
They were considered the Pope’s equals.

Explanation

Pardoners were authorized to preach and to distribute indulgences, which offered spiritual remission for sins under Church teaching. They also collected donations for the Church, sometimes in connection with the indulgences they offered. Translating the Bible into English was not their role, and they were not considered equal to the Pope.
