Best Answer

On October 31, 1517, Martin Luther nailed his Ninety-five Theses to the door of the church in Wittenberg, Saxony-Anhalt (not the same as Saxony) in opposition of the Catholic Church's selling of Indulgences (the belief that people could buy salvation and remission of sins).

For his refusal to retract all of his writings at the Diet of Worms in 1521, he was ex-communicated by Pope Leo X and the German Emperor Charles V declared him an outlaw.
