A:Martin Luther did not at first seek to defy the Church, but rather to reform it. The Church's intransigence on matters he considered important eventually resulted in his defiance of church authorities. The most important concerns were the practice of buying and selling bishoprics and the practice of selling indulgences, both of which are regarded as simony.

The Church misled people by telling them that their indulgences paid for their sins
Pope Leo X was accussed by Martin Luther of selling indulgences.
The practice of granting an indulgence, which is the remission of temporal punishment due to sin (i.e., remission of restitution) have not ended. In fact, the Catholic Church has an official book of indulgences that is still in use today. What has ended was the corrupt practice of selling indulgences. The practice of selling indulgences was a problem that existed at least from the late 1300s till the early to mid 1500s. In fact, it was one of the "theses" that was pointed out by Martin Luther on his 95 Theses in 1517. By the mid-late 1500s, however, the practice of selling indulgences had largely died out.

In his criticisms of the Catholic Church, Martin Luther argues that buying pardons (indulgences) is wrong and goes against the teachings of the Bible. He believes that salvation cannot be bought with money and that true repentance and faith are what lead to forgiveness from God. Luther condemns the practice of selling indulgences as a corrupt and exploitative way for the Church to make money.
