Thus Satisfactions became not merely signs of sorrow but actual merits, which freed men from the need to undergo the temporal pains here and in purgatory which their sins had rendered them liable to.

Satisfactions took the new meaning of the temporal punishments due in this life and the substitute for the pains of purgatory.

About the 7th century arose a custom of commuting or relaxing these imposed satisfactions.

It was thought only right that there should be some uniformity in dealing with repentant sinners, and books appeared giving lists of sins and what were supposed to be suitable satisfactions.

They were always mitigations of satisfactions or penances which had been imposed by the church as outward signs of inward sorrow, tests of fitness for pardon, and the needful precedents of absolution.

When the sins confessed were very heinous the satisfactions were correspondingly severe and sometimes lasted over many years.
