Pope Leo X

Explanation:

Pope Leo X,, Pope 217th of the Catholic Church from 1513 to 1521.

The construction of the Basilica of San Pedro undertaken by Leo X demanded large investments of gold and silver, exhausted metals in the coffers of the Church of Rome; they had to be brought by special taxes and extraordinary collections. The Pontifical States, overwhelmed by the increasingly bulky fiscal measures, were overwhelmed, and the Pope went to the rescued resource of the sale of indulgences; under the promise of obtaining one hundred for one in the next life, he published a bull on March 31, 1515 requesting the donations of the Christian faithful for the basilical work. The scandalous transaction of indulgences for money was the trigger for Martin Luther began in 1517 an ecclesiastical reform that would split the Christian community. The condemnations of the Lutheran doctrines made by the pope and the excommunication in 1521 of its author and those who followed them were useless: the Protestant Reformation could not be stopped.
