A:

Some of the money from the sale of indulgences was used to rebuild St Peter's Basilica, although a good deal of the money went to support the pope's indulgent lifestyle. Vivian Green (A New History of Christianity) says that Prierias, Master of the Papal Palace, actually declared any challenge to the sale of indulgences heretical.

Catholic Answer

You are speaking of indulgences, but this has never been true. Pope Leo X granted an indulgence (under the usual conditions) for those who made a donation towards the repair of St. Peter's Basilica. Martin Luther objected strenuously and accused the Pope of "selling indulgences", that was not true, M. Luther had a lot of things wrong when it came to his accusations.
