	Johann Tetzel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Johann Tetzel (1465-1519) was a Dominican priest who is perhaps best known for being accused of selling indulgences during the 16th century.
		Johann Tetzel studied theology and philosophy at the university of his native city, entered the Dominican order in 1489, achieved some success as a preacher, and was in 1502 commissioned by the pope to preach the jubilee indulgence, which he did throughout his life.
		It became necessary to disavow Tetzel; and, when he discovered that Miltitz had accused him of perpetrating numerous frauds and embezzlements, he withdrew, frightened, into the Dominican monastery in Leipzig.

	Johann Tetzel - Grace for Sale through Indulgences
		After Tetzel had received a substantial amount of money at Leipzig, a nobleman asked him if it were possible to receive a letter of indulgence for a future sin.
		Tetzel quickly answered in the affirmative, insisting, however, that the payment had to made at once.
		When Tetzel left Leipzig the nobleman attacked him along the way, gave him a thorough beating, and sent him back empty-handed to Leipzig with the comment that this was the future sin which he had in mind.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: 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.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Martin Luther
		John Tetzel, a Dominican monk with an impressive personality, a gift of popular oratory, and the repute of a successful indulgence preacher, was chosen by the archbishop as general-subcommissary.
		Tetzel, more readily than some of the contemporary brilliant theologians, divined the revolutionary import of the Theses, which while ostensibly aimed at the abuse of indulgences, were a covert attack on the whole penitential system of the Church and struck at the very root of ecclesiastical authority.
		Tetzel's Theses -- for he assumed all responsibility -- opposed to Luther's innovations the traditional teaching of the church; but it must be admitted that they at times gave an uncompromising, even dogmatic, sanction to mere theological opinions, that were hardly consonant with the most accurate scholarship.

	Albert of Mainz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cardinal Albert of Hohenzollern (German: Albrecht; June 28, 1490 in Cölln – September 24, 1545 in Aschaffenburg), Elector and Archbishop of Mainz and Archbishop of Magdeburg, was the younger son of John Cicero, Elector of Brandenburg.
		For this work he procured the services of John Tetzel, and so indirectly exercised a potent influence on the course of the Reformation.
		When the imperial election of 1519 drew near, the elector's vote was eagerly solicited by the partisans of Charles (afterwards the emperor Charles V) and by those of Francis I, King of France, and he appears to have received a large amount of money for the vote, which he cast eventually for Charles.

	The Decline of The Papacy (1304-1517)

		Tetzel preached against Luther and scared the people into believing their indulgences were genuine and helpful.
		In all this, Tetzel and Wimpina simply widened the breach already present and aggravated the circumstances that surrounded the unity of the church.

		John Luther, with all his excellence, was a somewhat austere man. As a father he was a strict disciplinarian; no fault of the son went unpunished, and not un-frequently was the chastisement in excess of the fault.

		Tetzel kept one, another was in the possession of the cashier of the house of Fugger in Augsburg, the agent of the Archbishop and Elector of Mainz, who farmed the indulgences; the third was in the keeping of the civil authority.

		This archbishop appointed a Dominican friar, John Tetzel, to try and sell as many indulgences as he could, to help pay off his debt.
		Tetzel convinced the people that they were actually buying God's forgiveness, and not just indulgences that exempted them from or reduced their time in Purgatory.
		It was this kind of practice, and Tetzel in particular, that prompted Luther to write down his arguments against indulgences, the Ninety-five Theses.

		John Tetzel is not as famous as his counterpart, Martin Luther, but his role in the Reformation, though insidious, can be enlightening and a helpful warning to us all.
		Tetzel was Rome's chief fundraiser and one of its most politically savvy and influencial lobbyists.
		Tetzel used faith as a means to solicit money; and he used money as a means to promise God's blessing in faith.

		He had some salesmen who were really good at it, including John Tetzel in Saxony (part of Germany).
		Tetzel's methods and, in fact, the whole practice of indulgence-selling itself would have brought down the wrath of Jesus as much as did the atmosphere of commercialism He encountered in the Jerusalem Temple.

		For example, the film’s portrayal of a leering, Fu Manchu-type Johann Tetzel (superbly overplayed by Alfred Molina), busying himself with the fleecing of widows and orphans, is almost too droll to be offensive.
		Tetzel is not a canonized saint, of course.
		Surely, Tetzel had nothing on Reverend Jimmy Swaggart, for example, who, aside from a messy scandal involving a woman of ill repute, once declared that Mother Teresa would burn in hell for failing to accept Jesus as her personal savior.

		The "spark" that ignited the Reformation was, in some respects, the appearance of a John Tetzel parading through Germany with a big trunk like huge piggy bank on a wagon, proclaiming that the moment a coin "klingk" in the chest, a deceased relative's soul "sprinkt" out of purgatory.
		However, it was not only John Tetzel's bad theology that aroused Luther's ire, but the idea that the money Tetzel was collecting was going out of Germany to build still another building in the city of Rome, where Luther had earlier encountered such social disdain against Germans.
		Tetzel's "theology" was, in fact, not the official Roman Catholic church position, and the church publically disavowed his money- raising pitch.
