Martin Luther never wanted to be a monk in the first place. He didn't want to live a life of celibacy, either. He only became a monk because he got caught in a really bad storm and bargained with St. Anne that he'd be a monk if he survived the storm. That tells you something about the man right there. He wasn't called and didn't want to do it.
Once a monk, he Is said to have driven the other priests crazy because he went to confession so much. He had a guilt complex from his childhood. One account said that to give the priests in the monastery a break, he was sent away from the monastery to teach the Bible to members of a Parish. It was there that he misinterpreted the passage in which Paul was encouraging the Jewish Christians to be kind and non-judgmental to the gentile converts who did not follow the laws of Moses known as works.

Ironically, this priest who didn't want to be a priest and wasn't called went from going to confession so often that the other priests sent him away to deciding that it wasn't necessary to confess at all. Luther's problems with the church were mostly centered around confession and indulgences.
As for indulgences, the church never sold them. Father Mike explains.
