Was the medevil church curropt

For example, the traffic of indulgences, an indulgence is "the emission of the temporal penalty due to forgiven sin, in virtue of the merits of Christ and the saints." The practice of indulgences became a norm during the first Crusade and became a pop-culture staple later in the middle ages. As many other pop-culture items commercial exploitation took hold giving way to professional pardoners selling indulgences on a larger scale. Though limits were established, both legal and doctrinal, it was the deep-rooted greed of popes Julius II and Leo X, who were in dire desire of capital, that lead to its spread, until Pius V condemned and prohibited the trafficking of indulgences in 1567.
             Another abuse to be considered was the misconduct of public office with benefices. It became quite a lucrative "corporation" for the clergy to accumulate ecclesiastical functions and to collect revenues due to the lack of interaction and the apathetic view of souls. As an offshoot misuse of funds from ecclesiastical events and absenteeism in the clerical respect ran rampant. Not withstood under Luthers Reformation due to his lack of empathy for the practicality of the church, he was more in tune with the theological aspects of church. Standing on a pedestal in Luther's eyes was the question "How does Man partake in Gods Salvation," not clerical abuses. Many of the abuses Luther argued against were not abolished until some fifty years later at the Council of Trent. Under the umbrella of Luthers Reformation was not only the righting of wrongs but also the rebuilding of the spiritual self and a greater emphasis on Christ's "passion" and the medieval precedent backing it. .
             It's hard to believe that Luther and his contemporaries were the first ones to form ideas of reformation. It is stated that corruption and the wealth or luxuries of monastic orders and/or monks themselves was practically tradition.
