    Gabby Haller writes a letter to the Pope expressing displeasure with the Roman Catholic Church. In paragraph 1, she states that the Church is making and spending unreasonable amounts of money, not for God, but themselves, including through the selling of indulgences. Paragraph 2 explains that indulgences unfairly benefit the wealthy and involve money in religion, and the Church gives jobs to friends rather than those who deserve it. Paragraph 3 offers the solutions of ending the sale of indulgences and giving jobs based on merit to satisfy citizens and strengthen the Church.
