What is the relationship between Martin Luther and the Protestants?
Wiki User
∙ 12y ago
Martin Luther created the Protestant Reformation to change the ways of the Holy Roman Catholic Church. Henry the VIII, who was a Catholic at the time, fell in love with a Protestant woman name Anne Boleyn. The Catholic Church did not grant Henry VIII his divorce with Catherine of Aragon, leading Anne Boleyn to convince her love that a new religious order will allow their marriage to be legit. Thus, Henry VIII created the Anglican Church, having the same aim as Luther: the Church needed to be reformed.

What is Martin Luther?
Martin Luther was a German monk in the middle ages who disagreed with the church. He didn't like how the Church was telling people to buy their way to heaven by making them give money to the church. They were being greedy. He nailed a list of complaints to the door of a church actually. People who agreed with him followed him and created Protestants. This change was called the reformation. When Martin Luther died, the protestants also became greedy. so a group of people started the lutherans.
