Priest: Pay Me Now or Pay Me Later

Nope, this video was not shot during Luther's time ... bet he would be rolling in his grave if he saw this twisting of Scripture:

During Luther's time this very thing was happening. Priests were telling parishioners that by giving money to the priest, the priest, with his special spiritual endowments, would pray for the dead loved ones the parishioner and have their purgatory time commuted. Of course, the money had to be paid.

Of all the crazy things that were happening during Martin Luther's time, I do believe that this was the proverbial last straw that caused him to reflect upon the Word itself outside of the existing church structure, and to eventually separate from the catholic church.
