  Tetzel, Johann. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
In 1517 his promotion of the indulgence for the erection of St. Peter’s Church aroused the indignation of Martin Luther, whose theses were in part promoted by Tetzel’s preaching.
Tetzel soon retired in bad health to his monastery at Leipzig, where he was overwhelmed by the attacks of his enemies and the censures of the papal legate.
His teaching on indulgences was not in accord with the doctrine of the church; the sine qua non in gaining an indulgence is to feel contrition for all sins, but Tetzel did not require that for indulgences gained on behalf of the dead, only for those gained for oneself.

  Johann Tetzel - LoveToKnow 1911
Tetzel was selected as the most efficient salesman; he was appointed general sub-commissioner for indulgences, and was accompanied by a clerk of the Fuggers from whom Albrecht had borrowed the money to pay his first-fruits.
Tetzel's efforts irretrievably damaged the complicated and abstruse Catholic doctrine on the subject of indulgences; as soon as the coin clinks in the chest, he cried, the soul is freed from purgatory.
Through the influence of Conrad Wimpina, rector of Frankfurt, Tetzel was created D.D. of that university, and with Wimpina's assistance he drew up, in January 1518, a hundred and six theses in answer to Luther's.

 Johann Tetzel
Tetzel died soon after, received an honourable burial, and was interred before the high altar of the Dominican church at Leipzig.
It was this deviation from the correct teaching of the Church and the obtrusive and disgraceful injection of the treasury chest, that led to abuses and scandals reprobated by such contemporaries as Cochlaeus, Emser, and Duke George (Paulus, op.
If Tetzel was guilty of unwarranted theological views, if his advocacy of indulgences was culpably imprudent, his moral character, the butt of every senseless burlesque and foul libel, has been vindicated to the extent of leaving it untainted by any grave moral dereliction.

One of the main tenants of the reformation was the ardent opposition to Johann Tetzel and his uncanny ability to squeeze blood out of the proverbial turnip of 16
One reason why Tetzel was so successful in the selling of indulgences was because of the people’s lack of the knowledge and understanding of scripture and soteriological truths.
But as heroic as the efforts of these are it’s my prayer that the Tetzelizing of Christendom will awaken more Luther’s and continue to raise that same ocean tide of fervency for truth in their hearts that marked the start of the great reformation.

The first of these was the visit of Johann Tetzel to a nearby town.
Tetzel was offering total remission of all sins forever; whoever bought his indulgence would go to Heaven immediately upon death.
In theory, the person purchasing the indulgence was to repent his or her sins prior to the purchase, so that it was clear that God was doing the forgiving of the sin while the Church was merely remitting the punishment that went with it.

 Three Principles of Protestantism by James E. McGoldrick
Tetzel promised his listeners that they could obtain remission for their sins and for the sins of loved ones who had died and gone to purgatory.
Consequently, pious people collected their savings and rushed to Tetzel to purchase his documents, for that seemed to be the requirement of Christian charity — that loved ones might be released from the torments of purgatory and admitted to heaven itself.
Purgatory, in the teaching of the medieval church, was portrayed as a place of temporal punishment for sin; the length of time a soul would spend there would be determined by the number and severity of his offences, and when one had been purged fully, he would be released to go to heaven.
