How did Pope Julius II finance the rebuilding of St Peter's Basilica?

What will be an ideal response?

The Pope raised money by selling indulgences. These were dispensations granted by the Church to shorten a sinner's stay in purgatory. Anyone wanting to enter heaven faster than they otherwise could might be able to shorten their stay by purchasing an indulgence.
