Martin Luthers role in the reformation was to force the church to let Humanism be allowed. Humanism is free-thinking. He wanted people to be able to be humanist and not have to follow the church. He also created the 95 theses and stapled it to the church door because he wanted to correct what he saw as the church's mistakes.
it was about how the people was treated and how they had to use differnt water fountians and bathroolms and they needed freedom.
the 95 theses appealed to people because they made more sense. For example it made more sense fore the bible and servics to be in the language you speak.
Martin wrote the 95 theses because he believed that the church was wrong for making people who wanted to be forgave for there sins pay.
Popular legend has it that Luther posted his theses on the door of his church in Wittenburg. Although no solid historical evidence exists that he actually did this, today the doors of the church have Martin Luther's theses permanently inscribed in them.
Martin Luther taught that people are "justified" by faith and not works. The Roman Catholic Church taught salvations was not just through Jesus, but also through the Church. This ran counter to the teaching of Martin Luther who taught that faith was all that was needed.
It would be nice to know which beliefs. Many people left the Roman Catholic Church, believing Martin Luther to be right where it comes to salvation according to Scripture. Conservative Reformed traditions still hold to the doctrines that were revived by Luther's influence.
1517. People typically date the start of the Reformation with Martin Luther's nailing of his 95 Theses on the door of a local church where he lived.
Whether Luther actually nailed his theses to the door, or whether he sent them out to specific bishops and priests has not been conclusively determined. It certainly would make sense for him to have nailed it, since church doors acted like public bulletin boards. Luther is said to have nailed his theses on the door to the chapel of the castle of Wittenburg. The place can be visited to this day, although the door is certainly not the original.
Martin Luther created a tension in Europe that upset the status quo. He was able to create a dialogue that was not available before the 16th century.
They wanted freedom from oppression and the liberty to Express themselves
Martin Luther helped start the reformation of the Catholic church. On October 31, 1517, Luther posted his 95 theses on the door of the Whitenburg Cathedral (which seems rather bold; however, many people would post things on church doors--a lot like how people post discussion topics on a forum) that discussed the sale of indulgences. (An indulgence is payment of a sin--much like a penance--and they were bought to save people from purgatory. The sale of indulgences was used to fund the construction of St. Peter's Cathedral, sold at different prices to people of different social statuses, and also sold for people that had already died.) Luther taught that salvation was by faith alone and that scripture was the final authority for Christians, not the pope.
