Martin Luther (not to be confused with the US black activist, Martin Luther KING Jr) felt that the religious teachings of the Catholic Pope were flawed as it was tellig people they can buy 'indulgences', i.e. make amends for their sins by contributing $$$ to the Church and earn admission to the gates of heaven.
