The plenary indulgence would be available for all those Catholics who participate either (1) in person or (2) virtually (online, TV, radio) and who have “the disposition of detachment from any sin, with the intention of fulfilling as soon as one is able, the three customary conditions” for plenary indulgences: 1) Sacramental Confession; Eucharistic Communion, and prayer for the intention of the Holy Father (all as soon as possible within 20 days).
