According to Luther’s criticism, the ability to grant forgiveness of sins belongs only to God.
Explanation:
Martin Luther was an influential clergyman in Europe during the Renaissance era. He hanged 95 of his thesis from a church door and it resulted in a Protestant revolution that challenged the commonly held ideas of the Church and how it must function.
It was one of the most influential of his ideas that priests cannot take confessions and dictate who can and cannot go to heaven as it is a mandate reserved for the God and none else.
