Big pun
His selling of indulgences which promised that they would get you out of hell "for a few easy payments of 19.99". Tetzel was then pocketing this money and getting rich while people thought they could do what ever they wanted if they were rich because they could jut keep paying for more indulgences. Martin Luther didn't even want there to be a pope but instead thought that people should interpret the bible for them self's.
What major contribution did Johann tetzel make to the renaissance? whoever wrote the answer for this was not thinking....they need to find the right answer and put it on here~!!!!!!!
Johann Tetzel. (The Dominican Friar)
It was John Tetzel who first created the indulgences. It happened in 1517. Luther had gotten mad at him and this affected and changed the church a lot. yw ;]
Johann Tetzel was perhaps the most famous saleman for indulgences in the 16th century. He worked for Bishop Albert in southern Germany, selling indulgences, (which are documents made by the Catholic Church to give forgiveness of sins and less time in pergatory in exchange for money). He used all kinds of misleading advertising and gimics to sell indulgences, and it was his actions that enraged Martin Luther to write the 95 theses. As for his beliefs, he was a staunch Catholic who probably thought he was doing god's work by selling indulgences to help fund the construction of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.

The fact that Johann tetzel sold indulgences upset Luther because he thought they were dumb
Johann Tetzel was the famous indulgence preacher who inspired Martin Luther to write the Ninety-Five Theses. They were written in 1517.
Martin Luther was against the selling of indulgences. At that time John Tetzel was sent by the Pope to Germany to raise money for the renovation of St. Peter's Basilica. In order to raise this money they sold pardons for ones sins. That is why he wrote 95 theses.

Johann Tetzel was a German, a Dominican priest who went about preaching about indulgences. He angered Luther by claiming seriously more than the Roman Catholic Church actually taught about indulgences, almost to the point of saying people could buy their way into Heaven.
