Hello! If this answer doesn’t fulfill all of your questions, or it doesn’t have the exact information you are looking for, I apologize. But, I will try to help you to my best ability! <3

Answer:

Luther became increasingly angry about the clergy selling 'indulgences' - promised remission from punishments for sin, either for someone still living or for one who had died and was believed to be in purgatory. Luther had come to believe that Christians are saved through faith and not through their own efforts. Luther came to reject several teachings and practices of the Roman Catholic Church. He strongly disputed the claim that freedom from God's punishment for sin could be purchased with money, proposing an academic discussion of the practice and efficacy of indulgences in his Ninety-five Theses of 1517.

Again, hope this helps! Good luck! :D
