Leonardo made to the Renaissance?
This is like asking how the sun warms the earth. De Vinci and Michelangelo were the Renaissance. They embodied the new thinking and they expressed this in their art and work. This was the "rebirth" of scholarship, architecture, and visual arts with the restrictions of earlier thinking gone. The dynastic families that supported them and commissioned them to create the great works of art that we view today.

What was the result of Renaissance poets writing in Italian instead of Latin?
Poets like Dante who wrote in the vernacular native to the Florentine region made his works easily understandable and accessible to the masses. As opposed to Latin who only scholars understood, what came to be know as the Italian language was understood by the layman and scholar alike.
The importance of the works of Dante (Paradise, Inferno, Purgatory, Divine Comedy) cannot be overestimated enough. At the time of Dante, different regions of the Italian peninsula spoke different dialects that were derived from Latin. The Italian language as we know today was the dialect spoken in Florence and the dialect that Dante (who was from Florence) wrote in. His works were so popular that the Florentine dialect prevailed over any others and as more and more people started to use it, it became the de facto language of the entire Italian peninsula. What was once the Florentine dialect became the Italian language.

How did the Reniassance artists portray the human body?
Roman republican sculpture was sculptural portraiture (busts) which was highly realistic in a "warts and all" manner. It highlighted the signs of age of statesmen because age was associated with wisdom. It also represented the republican ideas of dignitas, integritas et gravitas. With rule by emperors the Romans adopted the full bodied statues of the Hellenistic style of the Greeks. At this point Romans and Greek sculpture became pretty much the same. The emperors were depicted as being young and the vigour of youth was often presented as a leadership quality. Statues also became idealised and mythologised in imitation of the statues of the Hellenistic rulers.
The statues of Classical Greek sculpture represented the human body in a realistic and faithful. It also started paying more attention to posture and movement. Hellenistic statues (both Greek and Roman) increased the detail of their depiction of the human body, particularly the musculature. They also took the study and depiction of movement further, taking it to a new level. Hellenistic sculpture also developed the ability to reproduce human emotions with great intensity. A prime example of this is the acute intensity of the pain, the extreme torsion of the body and the great detail of the muscles of Laocoon in the statue called Laocoon and His Sons. This statue has been seen as "the prototypical icon of human agony" in Western art,

Renaissance architecture is the architecture of the period between the early 15th and early 17th centuries in different regions of Europe, in which there was a conscious revival and development of certain elements of Ancient_Greeceand Ancient_Romethought and material culture. Stylistically, Renaissance architecture followed Gothic_architectureand was succeeded by Baroque_architecture.
The Renaissance style places emphasis on Symmetry, Proportion, geometry and the regularity of parts as they are demonstrated in the architecture of Classical_antiquityand in particular Roman_architecture, of which many examples remained. Orderly arrangements of Column, Pilasterand Lintel_(architecture), as well as the use of semicircular arches, hemispherical Dome, Niche_(architecture) and Aediculereplaced the more complex proportional systems and irregular profiles of Gothic_architecturebuildings.
Developed first in Florence, with Filippo_Brunelleschias one of its innovators, the Renaissance style quickly spread to other Italian cities and then to France, Germany, England, Russia and elsewhere.
What was the difference between renaissance art and medieval art?
The primary difference would be the development of Perspective geometry for rendering scenes in a lifelike manner. An outgrowth of the science of Optics, Perspective illustration technique affected everything from architecture to map making to military ballistics, and revolutionized man's view of reality. Once you realize that you can measurably and accurately represent the world around you in perspective, on paper, it also gives you the ability to accurately plan on how you would change that world. Renaissance cathedrals are excellent examples of how finely the design and construction of even the largest buildings can be controlled and foreseen thru application of perspective, to meet a very specific and precise artistic goal. The development of perspective technique also spurred innovation in tools and methods of measurement and observation that significantly impacted the growth and methodology of science. Medieval art, on the other hand, was far more symbolic than purely representational. For example, human subjects in medieval paintings and frescos were often sized as to importance, rather than their position in a scene... Such that Priests and saints would be painted as larger than common folks, and Jesus painted larger than everybody else. These were their 'theological' sizes, as opposed to the sizes in relation to their surroundings.

Why did the Church sell more indulgences during the Renaissance?
The Church never did. "Pardoners"who often were not even priests did, along with a few bad priests, such as the Dominican monk named Johann Tetzel. Tetzel is reported to have been the inspiration for Martin Luther's 95 Thesis.
The sale of a Spiritual thing is known as Simony, after Simon from the bible. See the related link. Find out more about the sin of simony in the related link.
To have sold a indulgence is a unspeakably grave mortal sin, one of the worst spiritual sins one could ever commit, and the Church never has this acknowledged this as an acceptable practice.
It's a classic mistake (or rather a Protestant myth) of assuming corruption within theCchurch, was corruption of the Church.
