Pope charged an enthusiastic monk named Johann Tetzel with raising funds in northern Germany.
If I were your boss and charged you with securing my business before you went home, I would be assigning the responsibility of locking the building to you.
In this case the Pope assigned the responsibility of raising funds to this monk.
