Indulgences led reformers to speak.
In the 1300s and 1400s, reformers spoke out against various Church practices, notably the sale of indulgences, which allowed people to pay for the remission of sins. Additionally, the accumulation of wealth and power by the clergy, alongside perceived moral corruption and a disconnect from the spiritual needs of the laity, fueled discontent. The Church's reliance on rituals and traditions rather than personal faith also prompted calls for reform, emphasizing a return to biblical teachings and a more authentic Christian experience. These issues laid the groundwork for the Protestant Reformation in the following century.

By the late 1400s, the practice of granting indulgences underwent significant changes, moving from a focus on genuine penance and spiritual growth to a more commercialized approach. The Church began selling indulgences as a means to raise funds for projects like the construction of St. Peter's Basilica, which led to widespread criticism and corruption. This shift contributed to the perception that indulgences could be purchased as a shortcut to salvation, ultimately sparking the Reformation and challenging the Church's authority. Reformers like Martin Luther strongly opposed this practice, emphasizing the need for true repentance over financial transactions for forgiveness.
