Martin Luther saw the sale of indulgences as a form of simony, which was supposedly foreign to Catholic teaching. He also recognised the potential and fact of their sale leading to widespread corruption in the Church.

Luther was troubled by Tetzel's tactics. In response, he wrote 95 Theses, or formal statements, attacking the "pardon-merchants."
Basically Luther didn't think that you could buy your way into heaven and thought it was wrong. Especially for the priests to allow the people to use money in order for them to stay in gods

∙ 10y agoMartin Luther lied about the entire thing because he didn't like the premise that you must lead a moral life, that you need to pray for the dead, and that you MUST make recompense for all the evil you commit during your life. The Church has never sold indulgences, and now no one can receive an indulgence for almsgiving because of the stink caused by Martin Luther. What did Martin Luther do? He threw away his salvation and those of countless other people by denying them access to the Church that Christ had founded for their salvation.
A:
Luther nailed his "95 Theses" on the door of the Castle Church of Wittenberg, according to university custom. This was to promote discussion. Within two weeks, copies of the Theses had spread throughout Germany; within two months throughout Europe.
Luther and others didn't like what they perceived as false doctrines and ecclesiastic malpractice by the Roman Catholic Church, especially the sale of indulgences. The reformers saw this as evidence of the systemic corruption of the Roman Catholic Church's hierarchy, which included the Pope.
