Martin Luther was excommunicated from the Catholic Church due to his Ninety-Five Theses, which he posted on the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany, in 1517. In these theses, Luther criticized the selling of indulgences by the Catholic Church, questioning its authority and practices. This led to a chain reaction of events that ultimately resulted in Luther's excommunication in 1521.
