Solution
When Luther visited Rome he was grieved to witness the worldliness of the Pope and the Clergy. In 1517 he nailed on the door of the Castle-Church at Wittenberg Ninety-five Theses (Statements), which he thought people should know and think about carefully.
The first Thesis was: “When our Lord and Master Jesus Christ says Repent, he means that the entire life of believers should be repentance.” All other Statements were an elaboration of this Thesis. Luther questioned the powers of Pope and priests to forgive sins of all who paid/regardless of whether they sincerely regretted their actions.
