Johann Huss, a Czech theologian and reformer, was condemned for heresy due to his criticism of the Catholic Church, particularly regarding issues like indulgences and the authority of the papacy. In 1415, he was summoned to the Council of Constance, where he was arrested and later tried. Despite being offered safe conduct, Huss was ultimately found guilty and burned at the stake on July 6, 1415. His execution intensified calls for reform within the Church and inspired future Protestant movements.
he was part of the reformation of the Roman Catholic Church
Johann Wessel was a prominent figure who was executed in 1480 due to his association with the heretical ideas of the time, particularly those linked to the reformist movement. He was accused of promoting theological views that challenged the established Church doctrines, which led to his condemnation by ecclesiastical authorities. His execution was part of a broader effort to suppress dissent and maintain the Church's authority during a period of significant religious turmoil in Europe.
Preacher Johann Tetzel was a Dominican friar known for his role in the sale of indulgences in the early 16th century. He famously claimed that forgiveness of sins could be obtained through monetary donations to the Church, suggesting that such acts could reduce time in purgatory. This practice sparked significant criticism, particularly from Martin Luther, who argued that salvation could not be bought and should be based on faith and repentance rather than financial contributions. Tetzel's approach ultimately contributed to the Protestant Reformation and a reevaluation of Church practices regarding forgiveness and salvation.
In his debate with Johann Eck, Martin Luther declared that the Bible is the sole authority for Christian faith and practice, rejecting the Catholic Church's tradition and papal authority. He asserted that salvation comes through faith alone, not through works or indulgences. Additionally, Luther emphasized that all believers are a "priesthood," meaning that they have direct access to God without the need for intermediaries like priests.
Indulgences can be granted by the Catholic Church, specifically by the Pope or bishops who have been authorized to do so. They are typically associated with the forgiveness of temporal punishment for sins that have already been forgiven. In certain circumstances, priests may also grant indulgences, particularly in relation to specific acts of devotion or penance.

In the church
In the fifteen centuries that Our Blessed Lord established His Church until Martin Luther came on the scene and decided to start his own, there have been many other heretics who have criticized the Church for one reason or another. Which is not really comprehensible as the Church is the Body of Christ, so in criticizing the Church, one is criticizing Christ. Anyway, check out the link below.
