Yay, I'm first to post! Okay, back on track. Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation had a huge impact on the Catholic Church and Europe. The Church was selling indulgences, which was basically a piece of paper that made your time in purgatory much shorter. Martin Luther, who was a German monk, was dead against it. In 1517, he nailed a list of 95 theses on the door of a church on a Sunday morning. The list was distributed quickly throughout Europe thanks to the printing press. His list basically listed what the Church was doing wrong. Pope Leo X ordered him to recant, which Luther refused to do. Lutherans were formed because of this. John Calvin also stepped in later. Calvinism was formed because of him. King Henry also made the Church of England, or the Anglican Church.
The church started to sell indulgences, also known as a ticket to heaven, in order to pay the Renaissance artists it kept on its employ and in order to built many new building projects, even though the church had no prove that there is such thing as heaven. In the year of 1517, a German monk Martin Luther nailed 95 theses on church door, which disagreed with the Church teachings, with the help of the printing press. He said that slavation is given from God through grace, and not by indulgences. When he was forces to recant by Pope Leo X, Luther refused and was excommunicated from church. John Calvin then preached predestination. King Henry VIII wanted a son as heir to throne, so he made Anglican Church, and was head of religious affairs.
As we all know during the middle ages, the Catholic Chuch was the most powerful institution.

Martin Luther... He is most famous for his 95 thesis's. His famous 95 thesis's would have never been so successful if it wasn't for the invention of the printing press. He was a German monk that devoted his life in preaching the religion but he was also a person that couldn't ignore the injustice that was done upon the people by the church. The church was not able to bear this and ordered Luther to immediately recant. but he refused to do so and this proved his point more. Due to this a new branch of Christianity was born called the Lutherans. Soon after Calvinism was formed by john Calvin and the Anglicans by henry VIII.
The protestant reformation bought many changes to Europe. New forms of Christianity was also formed. Martin Luther was a German monk that preached to everyone about Christianity. He was a faithful folloer but he opposed the ways of the church. He refused to believe that a person had to pay to achieve salvation and that a persons goodwill shall do them good and help them achieve salvation. He came up with 95 thesis's against the church and nailed it on the door. People became aware of these began to question. Soon enough the word spread around of the 95 thesis thanks to the new invention; the printing press. This time gave birth to the Lutherans, Calvinism and the Anglicans.
During the Middle Ages, the Catholic Church was the most influential force and held the most power in Europe. It acted as the intermediary between man and God and it said who were the heretics and who would go to heaven. In order to pay for all their luxuries the church started selling indulgences, a piece of paper that said that you could get into heaven. However a lot of people started to go against the selling of indulgences. In 1517, Martin Luther, a German monk, nailed a list of 95 Thesis on a church door. This was a list of things that were wrong with the Catholic Church. This was distributed quickly with the help of the printing press. Luther also said that the church services and masses should be conducted in the local language of the people not in Latin. He translate the Bible in German so people could understand it. He also said that people didn't need a priest to appeal to God but that they could talk to him directly. Pope Leo X ordered Luther to recant. When he didn't, the pope excommunicated him. However Luther was protected by a nobleman and continued to spread his ideas. People who followed Luther were called Lutherans. John Calvin spread his idea of predestination, that God had already chosen who would enter heaven and who wouldn't. His followers were called Calvinists. King Henry VIII converted England into Protestant and formed the Church of England, or the Anglican Church. The Protestant Revolution was important because it gave people the idea that they didn't need the church in order to communicate with God. It also contributed to revolutions in education, science and politics.
The Catholic Church had become a very powerful force in Europe. The Church had been able to convince all followers that in order to go to heaven, they must do what the Catholic Church says, which lead to their corruption. With this, the selling of indulgences had begun. An indulgence was a so called "ticket to heaven". This was for the reason that followers believed that by buying one, it would reduce one's time in purgatory and would be allowed into heaven. The selling of indulgences had begun to take off, leading the Catholic Church to obtain not only money, but power. The corruption of the Church continued up until one person had begun to interfere. This was a German monk known as Martin Luther. He nailed the 95 theses on a church door. The 95 theses was a list made by Martin Luthers fustrations towards the Church. This included his thoughts on the selling of indulgences and the Bible. After Pope Leo X saw his works, he ordered Martin Luther to recant. Luther refused this order and was soon excommunicated. However, this didn't stop Luther. His thoughts were still being spread throughout followers of the Catholic Church and soon these followers began to become Lutherans. Martin Luther wasn't the only one who took action against the Catholic Church. John Calvin had begun to spread his thought that God had already made one's destiny before they were born. These ideas soon encouraged many people to remove from the Catholic Church and began believing in these ideas instead.
The Church was the most powerful institution in Europe during the Middle Ages. It understood how powerful it was, and so it decided to use peoples beliefs to collect money. By using indulgences, the church sold people little pieces of papers that would tell the faithful that they are free of their sins and can go to heaven after death. By selling indulgences the Church became wealthier and more powerful. Land-owners grew mad at the church for taking their resources and anti-church sentiments were being shown. Many were now familiar with how corrupt the church had become.
The Catholic Church began to sell indulgences. This proved corruption because i mean seriously tickets for heaven?? But people believed it and gave the church money. Martin Luther was a monk who started the reformation although Erasmus was the true founder, Luther just took action. He was against the corruption of the church and he preached his distrust. He wrote the 95 Theses which listed the "frustrations" which the church. Thanks to the printing press his work spread far and fast. Pope Leo ordered for Luther to recant but he refused and was excommunicated. Luther's followers referred to themselves as Lutherans. there were many consequences to Luther's actions in which he had no control over.
The church took advantage of their power with the people and began to sell indulgences. Indulgences were pieces of paper that the people could buy and decrease time in purgatory which was a place the Roman Catholics believed they would go after death. In 1517, a GErman monk, Martin Luther had written his frustrations of the church out on a list called the 95theses. Pope Leo ordered Luther to deny what his theses had but Luther did not. He was excommunicated. The theses was spread throught northern Europe and many began to agree and take Luther's side. Europeans began to think on their own and not rely on the church. This caused multiple revolutions in politics, education, and even science.
The protestant reformation started because of a German monk (Martin Luther). He was a preacher, he was a catholic preacher. Although he was with the church he disagreed with many of the things the church was doing. To stop this he came up with the 95 thesis, which was a list of 95 things the church was doing wrong, or believed was false, and with the help of the printing press (which was invented in this time period) people learned about it and agreed ad protested against the catholic church. Because the catholic soon excommunicated him from the catholic church he formed his own and called it the lutheran church.
The Protestant Reformation was started by a few things. One main thing was that the church began to sell indulgences. An indulgence was a piece of paper that once they died all their sins would be forgiven, and they would have a spot in heaven. Martin Luther was a german monk who was against the selling of indulgences. He believed that faith alone would grant salvation. Martin Luther wrote the 95 theses, and nailed it to the door of the Wittenberg churh. This list was sent throughout all of Europe, and didn't have to be hand written because of the invention of the printing press. The 95 theses was a list of all the things he felt that the church was doing wrong. Pope Leo X asked him to recant, and Luther refused to change his feelings about the church.Martin Luther was then exommunicated. The 95 theses changed people's views about the church forever.
The Catholic Church had alot of power politically in Europe. They began to sell indulgences which were tickets to heaven so that they can pay famous artists. This proved that the church was corrupt. Martin luther and Erasmus too action and rebelled against the church. Luther wrote the 95 theses which were conflicts and corruptions of the church.
During the Middle Age, the Church was the most powerful force in Europe. They were saw as the intermediary between man and god. The church knew the power that they had. When they needed money for the building projects and the payment for the artists, they begain to sell indulgences, which was a piece of paper that allowed you to go to heaven. Selling the indulgences was not only for the income but also a wasy for the church to maintain power. A Greek monk named Martain Luther was frustrated with the church practices. He nailed a list of 95 theses on a church door. He claimed that salcation was given directly by god through grace, not through indulgences or the church. This angered the church. It ordered Luther to recant, but he didn't. So the church excommunicated him. However, he was protected by a nobleman, which allowed him to continue towrite and spread his ideas.
Years before the Protestant Reformation, the Catholic Church was well known for its power. It started in previous years when the Pope was allowed to excommunicate kings and the Pope's power would override the king's. This proved that the Catholic Church had great political power. As we entered the Middle Ages, the Church became more corrupt. This is because they lacked money due to the many crisis they were having during the Middle Ages like the Black Death or the Crusades. Greedy for money, the church started selling indulgences, forgiving the sins of many by a simple payment of money, and urging individuals to give money to the church. All of these actions were done under the name of God. Soon a German monk named Martin Luther had the courage to stand up against the powerful Church. He saw many faults in the Church and developed the 95 theses. Luckily for Luther his ideas spread throughout Europe quickly due to Gutenberg's invention, the printing press. It was thanks to Gutenberg that the Protestant Reformation began that early. Luther challenged the Catholic Church by stating that salvation can only be achieved through faith. The Pope did not allow this and commanded Luther to reject his belief in front of many. The Protestant Reformation proved to many that the Church was corrupt, and slowly came the Scientific Revolution which allowed many to have their own beliefs or rather to allow themselves to search out their own answers.
The Protestant Reformation occured for a few reasons. For one, the catholic church was taking advantage of the common people. They started to sell indulgences, or tickets that guarenteed people to get into heaven. These tickets were expensive, and the church made people pay for an entire family. Martin Luther, a German monk, believed that the catholic church was corrupt. This is why he put the 95 theses on the door of a catholic church. He even did it on a Sunday so that people could read it. The 95 theses was basically 95 things that were wrong with the church. The protestant religion attracted many catholics because protestants believed that indulgences were not the way to get into heaven. They believed that the only way to do it was to was through good deeds. The protestant reformation would eventually lead to the creation of the Anglican church of England, created by King Henry the fourth.
Erasmus was the original founder for the Protestant Reformation. However, Martin Luther was the one who actually did something about it. He wrote the 95 thesis and posted them on the Wittenburg Church that Sunday morning for many to see. In his thesis he stated how the Church was corrupt. His 95 thesis were quickly spread due to the printing press. Luther created Lutheranism and he was recived many followers. Luther was against the sale of indulgences and believed that faith alone granted salvation. The Church excommunicated him but he was protected by German princes. Calvin followed in his footsteps and created Calvinism. The only difference between the two was that Calvinists believed in predestination and that Lutherans didnt.
the protestant reformation was a result of many corruptive powers within the catholic church. due to the sale of indulgences, the church tricked their followers into the idea of salvation for money. also, the church was focused more on the economic prosperity than the religious concept that it was based on. due to Martin Luther's 95 Thesis, the society was able to come to terms with the manipulative power of their catholic church. the 95 Thesis was spread quickly due to the newly established Printing Press by Gutenberg. this resulted in uprisings and also the beginning of the Anglican or protestant church of England that was founded by King Henry VIII and many more denominations.
2.the protestant reformation: streamlining salvation -the church was the one thing people had in commin durring the middle ages (600-1450), it was unifying force. -the church understood the power it had over the faithful -purgatory:the place Roman Catholics believed they would go after death. * -during this time landing owning nobles grew increasingly resentful of the church, which had amasses an enormous amount of power and wealth and exploited a huge number of resources at the expense of the nobles -in 1517 a German monk named Martin Luther nailed a list of 95 these on a church door -he said church services should be conducted in the local languages of the people, not in latin a language that the german people did not understand -he translated the bible into german so that it can be interpretted by everyone -role of Catholic church decreased -Pope Leo X: ordered Luther to recant, luthers ideas were spreading through much of northern Europe, -Luther did not recant and was excommunicated
Christianity splits again -luthers followers began to refer to themselves as lutherans, and began to seperate themselves from the catholic church -John Calvin from France led a powerful Protestant group by preaching an ideology of predestination. Clavinist doctrine stated that go had predetermaned an ultimate destiny for all people, most of whom god already damned. -the reformation spread to england -henry the 8th created the Anglican Church.. the church of England
Before the Protestant Reformation had started the church was a great and powerful force in Europe. People cherished and possible feared the church as they could excommunicate your for any reason they want. The church understood the power they held in the clutches of their fists and used it whenever they were in a tight spot. After the Renaissance had ended the church was in a huge debt to the artists that had painted in their churches, so they started selling indulgences. An indulgence was a piece of paper that the people could buy to get themselves out of purgatory or to get a loved one that has died and is currently residing in purgatory out. People had started resenting the church as they were using their powers wrongly and this showed the true nature of the unjust and corrupt church to everyone. In 1517, a man named Martin Luther had finally stepped forward and done something about this. He had posted up the 95 theses on a church door and had it spread it around with the help of the new printing press. This list showed his frustration with the church, of course including the selling of the indulgences. One thing that was said on the list is that the church should be printed in the language of the people residing in that are, which was German, and not Latin; he later took this upon himself and wrote a German bible himself and spread it for people to read. He had also said that the only way to get salvation is to have faith in god. Pope Leo X was furious at this outbreak and had immediately demanded Martin Luther to recant all that he said; he refused and was excommunicated. When he finally got the privilege to talk to a princes and church leaders, the pope had asked for his arrest. Luckily a nobleman from Luther's hometown protected him and Luther continued to spread his ideas. Luther's followers started to refer to themselves as Lutherans and had started to distance themselves from the churches. John Calvin, one of Luther's followers, had led a powerful protestant group by preaching his ideas of predestination. Predestination is when god had decided whether you got to hell or heaven the second you were born and there was nothing you can do to change it; there were only a certain few who could escape this fate, they were called the "Elect". Soon even King Henry VIII had joined the Protestant Reformation. He wanted a divorce, but the Pope said no to his request of an annulment, the outraged Henry decided to make his own church, known as the Anglican Church, or the Church of England, to get an annulment.
The Protestant Reformation had a hude impact of the Catholic Church. Martin Luther based his 95 Thesis directly on the Church. His thesis stated that the people of Europe did not need the Catholic Church to live their lives and interact with God. Because he openly challenged the church it re-evaulated peoples ideas of God's relationship to man and made it acceptable to soon question other things. When bibles became vernacular, people were able to make their own relationships with God instead of listening to what the church told them. They began to question the world around them and the authority of the church.
The Protestant Reformation had a huge effect on the Catholic Church. The Church began to sell indulgences. An indulgence was when people paid money to get a "ticket into heaven". They used this money to pay for Renaissance artists, who painted the all the Catholic Churches. A man who was against this was Erasmus. Unfortunately he died before anything occurred. Martin Luther was a man who agreed with Erasmus' beliefs and followed through with his ideas of changing. It is said "Erasmus laid the egg that Luther hatched" In the year 1517 Luther nailed the 95 Theses on the doors of a church. The 95 Theses were a list of all the corruption of the Catholic Church. Lutherans were created shortly after Martin Luther’s acts. Two men who came later on that agreed with Luther's beliefs and acted upon it was John Calvin who created Calvinism, and King Henry, who created the Church of England, also known as the Anglican Church.

Luther also said that the church services and masses should be conducted in the local language of the people not in Latin. He translate the Bible in German so people could understand it. He also said that people didn't need a priest to appeal to God but that they could talk to him directly. Pope Leo X ordered Luther to recant. When he didn't, the pope excommunicated him. However Luther was protected by a nobleman and continued to spread his ideas. People who followed Luther were called Lutherans. John Calvin spread his idea of predestination, that God had already chosen who would enter heaven and who wouldn't. His followers were called Calvinists. King Henry VIII converted England into Protestant and formed the Church of England, or the Anglican Church. The Protestant Revolution was important because it gave people the idea that they didn't need the church in order to communicate with God. It also contributed to revolutions in education, science and politics.
The Catholic Church had become a very powerful force in Europe. The Church had been able to convince all followers that in order to go to heaven, they must do what the Catholic Church says, which lead to their corruption. With this, the selling of indulgences had begun. An indulgence was a so called "ticket to heaven". This was for the reason that followers believed that by buying one, it would reduce one's time in purgatory and would be allowed into heaven. The selling of indulgences had begun to take off, leading the Catholic Church to obtain not only money, but power.
The corruption of the Church continued up until one person had begun to interfere. This was a German monk known as Martin Luther. He nailed the 95 theses on a church door. The 95 theses was a list made by Martin Luthers fustrations towards the Church. This included his thoughts on the selling of indulgences and the Bible. After Pope Leo X saw his works, he ordered Martin Luther to recant. Luther refused this order and was soon excommunicated. However, this didn't stop Luther. His thoughts were still being spread throughout followers of the Catholic Church and soon these followers began to become Lutherans.
Martin Luther wasn't the only one who took action against the Catholic Church. John Calvin had begun to spread his thought that God had already made one's destiny before they were born. These ideas soon encouraged many people to remove from the Catholic Church and began believing in these ideas instead.

The Church was the most powerful institution in Europe during the Middle Ages. It understood how powerful it was, and so it decided to use peoples beliefs to collect money. By using indulgences, the church sold people little pieces of papers that would tell the faithful that they are free of their sins and can go to heaven after death. By selling indulgences the Church became wealthier and more powerful. Land-owners grew mad at the church for taking their resources and anti-church sentiments were being shown. Many were now familiar with how corrupt the church had become.

The Catholic Church began to sell indulgences. This proved corruption because i mean seriously tickets for heaven?? But people believed it and gave the church money. Martin Luther was a monk who started the reformation although Erasmus was the true founder, Luther just took action. He was against the corruption of the church and he preached his distrust. He wrote the 95 Theses which listed the "frustrations" which the church. Thanks to the printing press his work spread far and fast. Pope Leo ordered for Luther to recant but he refused and was excommunicated. Luther's followers referred to themselves as Lutherans. there were many consequences to Luther's actions in which he had no control over.

The church took advantage of their power with the people and began to sell indulgences. Indulgences were pieces of paper that the people could buy and decrease time in purgatory which was a place the Roman Catholics believed they would go after death. In 1517, a GErman monk, Martin Luther had written his frustrations of the church out on a list called the 95theses. Pope Leo ordered Luther to deny what his theses had but Luther did not. He was excommunicated. The theses was spread throught northern Europe and many began to agree and take Luther's side. Europeans began to think on their own and not rely on the church. This caused multiple revolutions in politics, education, and even science.
The protestant reformation started because of a German monk (Martin Luther). He was a preacher, he was a catholic preacher. Although he was with the church he disagreed with many of the things the church was doing. To stop this he came up with the 95 thesis, which was a list of 95 things the church was doing wrong, or believed was false, and with the help of the printing press (which was invented in this time period) people learned about it and agreed ad protested against the catholic church. Because the catholic soon excommunicated him from the catholic church he formed his own and called it the lutheran church.

The Protestant Reformation was started by a few things. One main thing was that the church began to sell indulgences. An indulgence was a piece of paper that once they died all their sins would be forgiven, and they would have a spot in heaven. Martin Luther was a german monk who was against the selling of indulgences. He believed that faith alone would grant salvation. Martin Luther wrote the 95 theses, and nailed it to the door of the Wittenberg churh. This list was sent throughout all of Europe, and didn't have to be hand written because of the invention of the printing press. The 95 theses was a list of all the things he felt that the church was doing wrong. Pope Leo X asked him to recant, and Luther refused to change his feelings about the church.Martin Luther was then exommunicated. The 95 theses changed people's views about the church forever.
The Catholic Church had alot of power politically in Europe. They began to sell indulgences which were tickets to heaven so that they can pay famous artists. This proved that the church was corrupt. Martin luther and Erasmus too action and rebelled against the church. Luther wrote the 95 theses which were conflicts and corruptions of the church.

During the Middle Age, the Church was the most powerful force in Europe. They were saw as the intermediary between man and god. The church knew the power that they had. When they needed money for the building projects and the payment for the artists, they begain to sell indulgences, which was a piece of paper that allowed you to go to heaven. Selling the indulgences was not only for the income but also a wasy for the church to maintain power. A Greek monk named Martain Luther was frustrated with the church practices. He nailed a list of 95 theses on a church door. He claimed that salcation was given directly by god through grace, not through indulgences or the church. This angered the church. It ordered Luther to recant, but he didn't. So the church excommunicated him. However, he was protected by a nobleman, which allowed him to continue towrite and spread his ideas.

Years before the Protestant Reformation, the Catholic Church was well known for its power. It started in previous years when the Pope was allowed to excommunicate kings and the Pope's power would override the king's. This proved that the Catholic Church had great political power.
As we entered the Middle Ages, the Church became more corrupt. This is because they lacked money due to the many crisis they were having during the Middle Ages like the Black Death or the Crusades.
Greedy for money, the church started selling indulgences, forgiving the sins of many by a simple payment of money, and urging individuals to give money to the church. All of these actions were done under the name of God.
Soon a German monk named Martin Luther had the courage to stand up against the powerful Church. He saw many faults in the Church and developed the 95 theses.
Luckily for Luther his ideas spread throughout Europe quickly due to Gutenberg's invention, the printing press. It was thanks to Gutenberg that the Protestant Reformation began that early.
Luther challenged the Catholic Church by stating that salvation can only be achieved through faith. The Pope did not allow this and commanded Luther to reject his belief in front of many.
The Protestant Reformation proved to many that the Church was corrupt, and slowly came the Scientific Revolution which allowed many to have their own beliefs or rather to allow themselves to search out their own answers.
The Protestant Reformation occured for a few reasons. For one, the catholic church was taking advantage of the common people. They started to sell indulgences, or tickets that guarenteed people to get into heaven. These tickets were expensive, and the church made people pay for an entire family. Martin Luther, a German monk, believed that the catholic church was corrupt. This is why he put the 95 theses on the door of a catholic church. He even did it on a Sunday so that people could read it. The 95 theses was basically 95 things that were wrong with the church. The protestant religion attracted many catholics because protestants believed that indulgences were not the way to get into heaven. They believed that the only way to do it was to was through good deeds. The protestant reformation would eventually lead to the creation of the Anglican church of England, created by King Henry the fourth.

Erasmus was the original founder for the Protestant Reformation. However, Martin Luther was the one who actually did something about it. He wrote the 95 thesis and posted them on the Wittenburg Church that Sunday morning for many to see. In his thesis he stated how the Church was corrupt. His 95 thesis were quickly spread due to the printing press. Luther created Lutheranism and he was recived many followers. Luther was against the sale of indulgences and believed that faith alone granted salvation. The Church excommunicated him but he was protected by German princes. Calvin followed in his footsteps and created Calvinism. The only difference between the two was that Calvinists believed in predestination and that Lutherans didnt.
-Faten Odeh
the protestant reformation was a result of many corruptive powers within the catholic church. due to the sale of indulgences, the church tricked their followers into the idea of salvation for money. also, the church was focused more on the economic prosperity than the religious concept that it was based on. due to Martin Luther's 95 Thesis, the society was able to come to terms with the manipulative power of their catholic church. the 95 Thesis was spread quickly due to the newly established Printing Press by Gutenberg. this resulted in uprisings and also the beginning of the Anglican or protestant church of England that was founded by King Henry VIII and many more denominations.

Before the Protestant Reformation had started the church was a great and powerful force in Europe. People cherished and possible feared the church as they could excommunicate your for any reason they want. The church understood the power they held in the clutches of their fists and used it whenever they were in a tight spot. After the Renaissance had ended the church was in a huge debt to the artists that had painted in their churches, so they started selling indulgences. An indulgence was a piece of paper that the people could buy to get themselves out of purgatory or to get a loved one that has died and is currently residing in purgatory out. People had started resenting the church as they were using their powers wrongly and this showed the true nature of the unjust and corrupt church to everyone. In 1517, a man named Martin Luther had finally stepped forward and done something about this. He had posted up the 95 theses on a church door and had it spread it around with the help of the new printing press. This list showed his frustration with the church, of course including the selling of the indulgences. One thing that was said on the list is that the church should be printed in the language of the people residing in that are, which was German, and not Latin; he later took this upon himself and wrote a German bible himself and spread it for people to read. He had also said that the only way to get salvation is to have faith in god. Pope Leo X was furious at this outbreak and had immediately demanded Martin Luther to recant all that he said; he refused and was excommunicated. When he finally got the privilege to talk to a princes and church leaders, the pope had asked for his arrest. Luckily a nobleman from Luther's hometown protected him and Luther continued to spread his ideas. Luther's followers started to refer to themselves as Lutherans and had started to distance themselves from the churches. John Calvin, one of Luther's followers, had led a powerful protestant group by preaching his ideas of predestination. Predestination is when god had decided whether you got to hell or heaven the second you were born and there was nothing you can do to change it; there were only a certain few who could escape this fate, they were called the "Elect". Soon even King Henry VIII had joined the Protestant Reformation. He wanted a divorce, but the Pope said no to his request of an annulment, the outraged Henry decided to make his own church, known as the Anglican Church, or the Church of England, to get an annulment.

The Protestant Reformation had a hude impact of the Catholic Church. Martin Luther based his 95 Thesis directly on the Church. His thesis stated that the people of Europe did not need the Catholic Church to live their lives and interact with God. Because he openly challenged the church it re-evaulated peoples ideas of God's relationship to man and made it acceptable to soon question other things. When bibles became vernacular, people were able to make their own relationships with God instead of listening to what the church told them. They began to question the world around them and the authority of the church.
-Veronica Benanti
The Protestant Reformation had a huge effect on the Catholic Church. The Church began to sell indulgences. An indulgence was when people paid money to get a "ticket into heaven". They used this money to pay for Renaissance artists, who painted the all the Catholic Churches. A man who was against this was Erasmus. Unfortunately he died before anything occurred. Martin Luther was a man who agreed with Erasmus' beliefs and followed through with his ideas of changing. It is said "Erasmus laid the egg that Luther hatched" In the year 1517 Luther nailed the 95 Theses on the doors of a church. The 95 Theses were a list of all the corruption of the Catholic Church. Lutherans were created shortly after Martin Luther’s acts. Two men who came later on that agreed with Luther's beliefs and acted upon it was John Calvin who created Calvinism, and King Henry, who created the Church of England, also known as the Anglican Church.
