Indulgences were slips of paper that supposedly sent you to heaven and pardoned you from the punishments of your sins. The early Roman church issued these as a reward for good people. This gave the church too much power.  Martin Luther disagreed with this because he believed that only God should decide who goes to heaven or not.
