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.
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.

Johann Tetzel. (The Dominican Friar)
Luther posted the 95 theses, because he was upset about the indulgences that Johann Tetzel had been selling and the papal keys sold by the pope, because both were using the income for themselves not the church out of greed.
