    Martin Luther posted 95 theses criticizing the Catholic Church's corruption, especially the selling of indulgences, on a church door in 1517. This sparked the Protestant Reformation as Luther sought to reform the Church by establishing salvation through faith alone rather than works. He was eventually excommunicated from the Catholic Church and founded Lutheranism, which spread across Germany and other parts of Europe and rejected indulgences and corruption. Followers of Lutheranism supported the changes as improving the Church.

    TheReformation:MartinLuther

    Martin Luther reformed the Catholic Church, and created his own church and
    religion, Lutheran. Luther was born on November 10, 1483 in Eisleben, Germany.
    He was a Catholic worshipper until recently, when he was excommunicated. Luther
    told us that he was not happy with the churchs corruption, The corruption going on
    throughout the church is crazy! He also believes that the selling of indulgences is
    not fair. He posted the 95 theses on the door of a church in Wittenberg, Germany on
    October 31, 1517.
    When being interviewed, Luther told us that my goal was to modify the church
    to what I believed what is correct, not completely change it. A few of his beliefs
    were that the Bible should be the ultimate authority, not the Pope. He believed that
    people should be able to reach salvation (go to Heaven) based on their faith. The
    new religion he created was Lutheranism. Lutheranism spread all throughout
    Poland, Norway, and parts of Germany and Poland. Within the church, there was no
    selling of indulgences, and everyone could speak to God through prayer. We also
    interviewed a Lutheranism follower who said, I am all for these changes, I believe
    that they are better. There is no corruption in the new church.
