(C) It was using indulgences for financial benefits


Back in Martin Luther's time, the Church was the most powerful force in all the land. However, there was corruption in the Church, and they started selling "indulgences". Indulgences were payments made by ordinary people to the Catholic Church to be excused or exempted from penances for sin. Ordinarily, you go to confession, say your sins, and the priest absolves you, and gives you a few Hail Mary's and an Our Father to say as a penance (this is just an exaggeration, different penances come with different sins). Obviously, some people wanted to get off scot-free, and that's what these corrupt Church officials exploited.

As a result, Martin Luther wrote his 95 Theses, criticisms against the church, and placed it on the door of the church in Wittenburg. The printing press helped to distribute the 95 Theses much faster and to many different people. This ultimately led to many Europeans shedding their recognition of the Church's authority, and its fall in power.

How do you think the changes in spending will affect the economy?
iren2701 [21]
I think that if you are spending so much on little necessities, then your wasting money because the only things you need to buy are the things you actually need. Not electronics, not toys, just the simple things you need. Not phones, not PS4s, nothing like that. You pretty much are wasting your life on doing those type things. Your losing more energy everyday doing stuff like that. It is really not helping much when you do things like that because like I said, your wasting your energy, your money, and trees and minerals and things to keep the ACTUAL things we need in life today, like food and shade for when it's hot out from the trees. But you also need to keep in mind, the more money we make and things, more trees go away. Animals might even be dying from this. That is how I think the changes in spending will effect the economy.
