Martin Luther objected to the selling of indulgences in his "95 Theses" because he felt that it was wrong to promise that souls would be relieved from purgatory based on a simple monetary contribution, and he also felt that the pope did not have the right to grant a pardon from God. An indulgence was a pardon for certain types of sins and the Catholic Church sold these indulgences to church members.
