What ways was Luther's church different from the Catholic church?
The biggest way is that the Catholic Church was established by Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, on the apostle Peter (see Matthew 16:17-19) and his successors to rule over it as His Vicar. He guaranteed it until the end of the world, and send the Holy Spirit to guide it always. It is to be One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic, and it is to be the way to salvation for all peoples. Martin Luther's ecclesial community was founded by Martin Luther. As he realized that people wouldn't accept a church based on a man who lived 1,500 years after Our Blessed Lord already established His one and only Church; Luther said that he was establishing his church on the Bible. As the fact that the Bible already supported the Catholic Church, Martin Luther had to do some major editing, which he did by throwing multiple books out of the Bible, and changing the wording in the ones that remained. In other words, Martin Luther's "church" is based on the feverish lies of one man in an effort to bolster his own thoughts, while ignoring the realities of God and His already established Church.
How does Martin Luther respond to being the target of the Catholic Church?
From everything that I have read by Martin Luther, and I did a thesis on him in the seminary, there is only one word to describe his reaction to the Church: he was belligerent. In short, he was a foul-mouthed belligerent man who liked his beer cellar - that is from his autobiography. Most of his writings could not be reproduced here as the computer will not accept those words as too foul, so you can imagine what he called the Church and its ministers.
What changes did Martin Luther make to the Catholic church?
The changes Martin Luther made to the catholic church were: They had to print the bible in more than one language. He also thought that people should not have to pay the church to ask for god's forgiveness for a sin. Remember this is not Martin Luther King Jr. -------- Wait a minute - While Fr. Martin Luther was a Roman Catholic priest, it is absurd to think he singlehandedly change the Catholic Church! Instead, he set about to create his own group - those who protested - and they became known as the Protestants. While the Catholic Church does NOT require anyone to pay the Church to ask for forgiveness, in the Middle Ages (much like today) there were corrupt people who took advantage of the poor and uneducated and charged a "fee" for an "indulgence." The uneducated people of the day saw indulgences as "get out of Hell free" cards. In addition, Luther could not accept the Church's authority on issues of faith and morals. He could not believe in the doctrine of transubstantiation and decided that instead of having faith, he'd make a new church that was easier to follow and devoid of any of the difficult dogma of the Catholic Church. Certainly Luther was right about the grievous sin of taking advantage of the uneducated and poor, he was wrong about Transubstantiation. He could have done the world a great deal of good had he worked for change from within instead of causing division.
Did the church accept Martin Luther's belief about salvation?
Luther believed that someone couldn't pay off their sins. He believed that the real reconciliation of a persons sins were between the sinner and God. He didn't believe that someone was going to be damned if they couldn't pay their sins. He believed the only was to go to heaven is by faith.
When did the Christianity Protestant begin?
Protestantism began with the Protestant Reformation, which began in the 16th century in response to political tensions within the Catholic Church. Martin Luther's Ninety-Five Theses are usually credited with sparking the Reformation, as they were the first widely-distributed pieces of literature thanks to the newly-invented printing press.
What other things accept the reformation did Martin Luther do?
Martin Luther translated the Bible from Latin to German because mass back then was all held in latin.
Puritans opposed Martin Luther?
Martin Luther a monk and teacher at the University of Wittenberg, in 1517 published his "95 Theses of Contention" describing corruption in the Roman Catholic. As his writings became widely spread throughout Europe, the "protestant reformation" began to protest the corruption and power of the Roman Catholic church. In his writings, he condemned the Jews because they did not accept Christ as the Messiah. As the Nazis gained power in Germany in the twentieth century, they used quotes from Luther's writings to support their ideals. Today's followers of Luther's teaching are known as Lutherans. Around the same time that Luther's writings were spreading throughout Europe, reformers in England were attempting to "purify" the Church of England believing that the clergy had too much power. They called themselves Puritans. The official move to cut the power of the Roman Catholic church in England was when King Henry VIII, for his own reasons, separated from Rome in 1534. The Puritans defied the power of the church and were persecuted for their efforts to reform the government controlled church. This finally drove the Puritans to set up colonies in the New World. Any opposition of Martin Luther's teachings by the Puritans may be obscured by their struggles to accomplish their own reformations.
Could history prove a connection between Martin Luther and Nazi Germany?
A:Since Adolph Hitler was a Roman Catholic, any connection that could be found between Martin Luther and Nazi Germany would be unlikely, and tenuous at best. The attitudes of Hitler were more likely shaped by the Catholic Church, so if we must find a connection, this is where to look. Otherwise, accept that Nazi Germany was created by evil men of the twentieth century, and shaped by events of that century, not by a man who lived centuries earlier.
What was Martin Luther's list of complaints about the Roman Catholic Church call?
Luther had many complaints against the Roman Catholic Church. He made a list of his grievances called the 95 theses and pinned them to the church door. These were intended only for scholars as it was written in Latin (the language of the scholars) but soon it was translated into German and was circulated among the people. One of Luther's biggest problems with the church was the selling of indulgences. People believed they could buy their way out of sin without any faith aspect at all. Johann Tetzel said, "As soon as the coin in the coffer rings, a soul from Purgatory springs." Luther believed that indulgences were not right and biblical and would not bring people to heaven. He accused the church of leaving people in their sin instead of showing them the way to heaven. Luther believed that you could not get to heaven by doing good works but by faith and faith alone. amazing answer, was very helpful that the church sold indulgences
Why did the Catholic Church in the past accept kings to live polygamous and own mistresses?

How did Martin Luther King father influence his life?

How was Christianity unifying and oppressive?
when the Catholic Church became corrupt in England. It caused the Protestant Reformation, when Martin Luther posted his 95 thesis on the door of a church in the vernacular in Germany his native land. He said that we could speak directly to God without intercession from a priest. The Catholic Church had lied to people and told them the opposite. There were also heirlooms that people would give to the church to earn salvation. The Catholic Church would accept these and continued to tell people they could earn it. I'm not against Catholicism today, but back then it was really corrupt. The Protestant Reformation put them back in their place.
