Martin Luther (1 янв 1483 г. – 1 янв 1546 г.)

Описание:

This German university professor and priest kicked off the Protestant Reformation. His "Ninety-five These on the Power of Indulgences" argued that indulgences undermined the seriousness of the sacrament of penance, competed with the preaching of the Gospel, and downplayed the importance of charity in Christian life. When called upon by the Catholic Church, he refused to take back his ideas and continued to criticize them. He said that secular leaders should reform the church if the pope and clerical hierarchy did not, there was no distinction between clergy and laypeople, and clerical celibacy was nonsense. When Charles V called the Diet of Worms, he again refused to take back his ideas and his popularity was boosted.
