The fact that Johann tetzel sold indulgences upset Luther because he thought they were dumb
Big pun
Johann Tetzel was the famous indulgence preacher who inspired Martin Luther to write the Ninety-Five Theses. They were written in 1517.
A monk that raised money for the church by selling indulgences is John Tetzel. It is believed that his action inspired Martin Luther to write the Ninety-Five Theses.
The Dominican Friar Johann Tetzel.
Johann Tetzel was a German, a Dominican priest who went about preaching about indulgences. He angered Luther by claiming seriously more than the Roman Catholic Church actually taught about indulgences, almost to the point of saying people could buy their way into Heaven.
The final straw for Martin Luther was the sale of indulgences by the Catholic Church, particularly exemplified by Johann Tetzel's aggressive fundraising efforts for the construction of St. Peter's Basilica. Luther was outraged by the idea that salvation could be bought and that such practices undermined true repentance and faith. This culminated in his posting of the Ninety-Five Theses in 1517, which criticized these practices and sparked the Protestant Reformation.
What major contribution did Johann tetzel make to the renaissance? whoever wrote the answer for this was not thinking....they need to find the right answer and put it on here~!!!!!!!
His selling of indulgences which promised that they would get you out of hell "for a few easy payments of 19.99". Tetzel was then pocketing this money and getting rich while people thought they could do what ever they wanted if they were rich because they could jut keep paying for more indulgences. Martin Luther didn't even want there to be a pope but instead thought that people should interpret the bible for them self's.
The sale of indulgences that Martin Luther opposed was primarily associated with Johann Tetzel, a Dominican friar. Tetzel's aggressive marketing of indulgences in the early 16th century, particularly his famous phrase "As soon as a coin in the coffer rings, the soul from purgatory springs," highlighted the corruption Luther condemned. This practice contributed to Luther's 95 Theses, which criticized the Church's exploitation of believers and sparked the Protestant Reformation.

Martin Luther wrote the Ninety-Five Theses in 1517 largely in response to the Catholic Church's practice of selling indulgences, which he believed undermined genuine repentance and faith. The widespread sale of indulgences, particularly by Johann Tetzel, prompted Luther to challenge the Church's authority and the theological basis of such practices. Additionally, the growing influence of humanist thought and a desire for reform within the Church fueled his convictions. His theses sparked a significant movement that contributed to the Protestant Reformation.
It was John Tetzel who first created the indulgences. It happened in 1517. Luther had gotten mad at him and this affected and changed the church a lot. yw ;]
