Martin Luther was sickened when he heard about the selling of indulgences and how the pope
would persuade people into buying. The pope would send his salesman and helpers town to
town convincing people to pitch in money so that they can “save their friends and relatives”
from purgatory. Crowds of people believed this non-sense to supposedly save their loved ones
from this false idea, purgatory is when a dead person’s soul is to be purified so that he or she
can go to heaven. Luther also didn’t understand when the salesmen would say that all of this is
what God wants us to do and the people thought this is how you earn salvation. The pope also
taught in order to repent you have to pay a fee and all
