The Protestant Reformation was "started" by Martin Luther. The movement started because of corruption in the Roman Catholic Church that used indulgences- the paying for forgiveness of sins and simony- the buying of catholic positions. Luther ignited the movement by nailing the Ninety-Five Theses on the Power and Efficacy of Indulgences in 1517, which deeply criticized the church and the pope in some of their practices. Nailing this is widely seen as the catalyst for the whole movement, which has caused many students to think of Luther when they hear the word reformation.

Martin Luther was a German former Catholic priest who led the Protestant Reformation and founded Lutheranism. He lived from 1483-1546.
The Protestant Reformation started primarily because of the actions of Martin Luther. Luther challenged the validity of the Catholic church, while believing its rules and principles to be both harsh and rigid. Luther and his supporters "protested" against the Church and its doctrines. This led to the reformation and the creation of the Protestant sect and faith.
