It didn't work then and it doesn't work now. Assuming "could work" means "could prevent people from sinning." Many of the world's justice systems include this kind of model and the only reliable result is that those with a lot can get away with a lot and those without are disproportionately punished.
Gutenberg funded his efforts to improve his printing press, as well as to print ornate bibles, by printing indulgence certificates for the Catholic Church. They were printed with gaps for the name of the forgiven, the priest, the price and the date
Yes, but with the printing press also came a rise in literacy. A lot of the support the Protestant Reformation got was the result of a general public that was able to read the Bible for themselves instead of blindly following whatever the clergy told them.
I guess it's better than eating sins. Yes . There's a tradition where bread or cake is laid on the corpse with the idea the dough will absorb the sins. Then the Sin Eater turns up.

There are different protestant sects that believe in different things. Some protestants are more egalitarian.

The Protestant faiths of the Americans and Dutch pretty much allowed them to develop capitalism and industrialization.

Now that I think about it, having a sin version of a swear jar could work, baring the money goes to a charity of their choice or something
