1 Jan 1517 Jahr - Martin Luther writes 95 Theses

Beschreibung:

During this time, the Catholic Church was corrupt. Characteristics like clerical immorality, ignorance, privileges, absenteeism, and indulgences plagued the Church, leading to a a need for reformation. Martin Luther wrote the 95 Theses, which argued against the use of indulgences, which were essentially tickets to get out of purgatory. Importantly, while Martin Luther (and many other Protestants) believed that the Church should lose its power, they still believed in piety and God itself. These 95 Theses marked the beginning of the Protestant Reformation and Lutheranism, which was a period of time in which Christians shifted away from Catholicism and the Holy Roman Empire stagnated. Many Protestant beliefs, like faith and scriptures alone, liberty of secular activities, etc. became prevalent as a result of the 95 Theses and Protestantism as a whole.
