As most know, our Holy Father declared a special plenary indulgence on the Feast of Immaculate Conception under the usually circumstances. As I was standing in line for confession before mass, I noticed that there were a number of people in line with me. Then I got to thinking suppose one of these people performs the exact same actions that I do (goes to confession, communion, offers a prayer for the Pope, etc.) but is unaware that an Indulgence is being offered. Will that person still receive the benefits of the Indulgence or is it like committing sin in that you have to be conscious of it in order to receive the benefits of the Indulgence?
