Answer:

The Answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The political leaders support Luther against the Church "because they thought they wouldn't have to pay unnecessary money to the Church, particularly on the issue of indulgences.

This is evident in the fact that in 1817, the Martin Luther letter writing against the act of Indulgence that requires payment of money for removing sin in their lives.

Martin Luther originally believed that Christians are saved through faith rather than their efforts alone.
