Pope Leo X ordered Luther to stop stirring up trouble. This attempt to keep Luther quiet had the opposite effect. Luther now started issuing statements about other issues. For example, at that time people believed that the Pope was infallible (incapable of error). However, Luther was convinced that Leo X was wrong to sell indulgences. Therefore, Luther argued, the Pope could not possibly be infallible.

Luther argued that indulgences undermine the core principles of repentance and faith by promoting the idea that salvation can be purchased rather than earned through genuine contrition and a relationship with God. He believed they exploited the faithful's fear of sin and damnation, encouraging a transactional view of grace that detracted from the true message of the Gospel. Furthermore, Luther contended that indulgences misrepresented God's mercy and love, leading believers away from a sincere pursuit of spiritual growth and true redemption.

Martin Luther was the reformer who challenged the Catholic Church over Indulgences.
The 95 Theses centers on agreements within the Catholic Church regarding baptism and absolution. The Theses offer a view on the validity of indulgences (remissions of temporal punishment due for sins which have already been forgiven). They also view with great cynicism the practice of indulgences being sold, and thus the penance for sin representing a financial transaction rather than genuine contrition. Luther's theses argued that the sale of indulgences was a gross violation of the original intention of confession and penance, and that Christians were being falsely told that they could find absolution through the purchase of indulgences.
