Descripción:

On October 31, 1517, Martin Luther posted his 95 Thesis on the door of the church, proclaiming openly that the Roman Catholic Church was guilty of corruption and serious errors that needed to be changed, like the selling of indulgences. His writings helped start the Protestant Reformation, and his teachings (the Bible is the central religious authority, and salvation is received by faith alone) shaped the core of Protestantism.
