oct 31, 1517 - Luther's 95 Theses

Description:

Luther believed the only way to salvation was through faith, not by purchasing indulgences or good works. So, he nailed basically his 95 problems with the Roman Catholic Church onto the door of the main church in Rome. Along with the faith-based salvation, he also pointed out that Popes and members of the clergy were corrupt and sinners just like common people. He said that priests had no power over everyone else and the church didn't like that.
