Answer:

Martin Luther thought that this was horrible. He did not believe that you can buy your way to Heaven, or buy your way out of hell to heaven. He wrote 95 reasons (Ninety Five-Theses) on why buying indulgences is wrong. Basically, an indulgence is like a note that shows however many sins you done, you can buy your way out of going to hell and go to Heaven. The reasons tried to prove why they were wrong. He also posted on a church door in Wittenberg, Germany.
