41. papal indulgences must be preached with caution, lest people erroneously think that they are preferable to other good works of love.

42. christians are to be taught that the pope does not intend that the buying of indulgences should in any way be compared with works of mercy.

43. christians are to be taught that he who gives to the poor or lends to the needy does a better deed than he who buys indulgences.

- from 95 theses, martin luther, 1517

according to this excerpt, luther claimed that indulgences

a)
were a good idea.

b)
offered people salvation.

c)
should be practiced by all christians.

d)
were not as good as other christian deeds.

Martin Luther (1483-1546) was a key figure for the Protestant Reformation. He believed indulgences were a sign of the Church's disrespect for Christian faith. The correct answer is D.

The sparker of the Reformation was the publication of his 95 Theses. They criticized the Roman Catholic Church for its luxury and affirmed it had deviated from God's teachings. One of the targets of his critiques was the indulgences.

For Luther people could not be saved by buying indulgences. Salvation should come only by the grace of God.
