Answer:

The right choice is:

A. he encouraged Catholics to question a number of practices

of the church including the sale of indulgences.

Explanation:

Martin Luther is the father of Protestant Reformation. He was a Catholic priest and a seminar theologian in Wittenberg, Germany. In the 1510s, he went to Rome and came back shocked by the sale of indulgences and papal bulls for the forgiveness of sins. He couldn´t agree with those acts aimed at enlarging the chests of the Church. After a long reflection, he openly questioned them and the authority of the Vatican. He said that Christians could win God´s grace by faith only, not through buying indulgences, and that the Bible was the ultimate authority in religious matters. The furious reaction of the Vatican was to excommunicate him given his refusal to retract.

Describe how the Catholic Church was corrupt during the Middle Ages and into the Renaissance. ( examples).

Natali5045456 [20]

The Catholic Church became corrupted, due to its overgrown power. Because of the Pope's overspendings, the Pope started the Sales of Indulgences. The Sales of Indulgences was a scheme to earn more money. It made people spend money so that they/family members go into heaven. This upsetted a reformer, Martin Luther. That started the Reformation. So in summery, the Catholic Church gained to much power ( more than the nobility) and it wanted more money. BTW, this only a little bit of it.
