Indulgence Machine Go Brrr

Again, "Why does not the pope, whose wealth is today greater than the wealth of the richest Crassus, build this one basilica of St. Peter with his own money rather than with the money of poor believers?" Again, "What does the pope remit or grant to those who by perfect contrition already have a right to full remission and blessings?" Again, "What greater blessing could come to the church than if the pope were to bestow these remissions and blessings on every believer a hundred times a day, as he now does but once?" haha indulgence machine go brrrr

A caricature of Martin Luther appears beside a pope and a wooden indulgence-printing machine. Luther’s criticism of papal indulgences is juxtaposed with the machine enthusiastically producing them, turning a serious Reformation-era argument into a joke about nonstop monetization and printing money.
