Indulgences Sale in early 1500s driven by need to fund building
of St. Peters in Rome.Justified by claim that Pope had power to dispense
accumulated merit of the Church to individuals.
For cash.Johann Tetzel- German Dominican- was one of thekey salesmen Not only sold indulgence to people for themselves, but
also for departed loved ones. Said indulgence was so powerful that even if someone
had slept with Christs dear Mother, the Pope had powerin heaven and on earth to forgive as long as money wasput into the indulgence coffer.

Matthias Gerung, Folly of
Indulgences
In this woodcut by Matthias Gerung
the sale of indulgences is viciouslysatirized. With one claw in the holy
water symbolizing the rite of
purification, and the other claw
resting on the coins paid for
indulgences, the church, in the formof a rapacious eagle with its right
hand stretched out for offerings,
writes out an indulgence with
excrement--which represents its
worth. Fools, in a false security, sitin the animal's gaping mouth,
representing hell. (Kunstsammlung
der Veste Coburg)
