His objections were a key factor in sparking the Protestant Reformation.

Why is the selling of indulgences a bad idea?
It is an extremely bad idea because it is simony (the selling of sacred things for a price). Up until the sixteenth century, indulgences were granted for any of the normal three penitential works: prayer, fasting, or almsgiving. Because of the stink raised by Martin Luther one can no longer get an indulgence for almsgiving. Please note that to issue an indulgence for almsgiving was NOT a bad idea, the only bad idea was that Martin Luther failed to understand indulgences and consequently failed to understand Christianity.
When did the Catholic Church get rid of 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.
