Martin Luther (1483-1546) authored the seminal act of the Reformation in 1517. The Reformation of the church is considered to have begun on 31 October 1517, with Luther's act of posting his Ninety-Five Theses, more fully known as the "Disputation of Doctor Martin Luther on the Power and Efficacy of Indulgences", on the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany. The document contained an attack on papal abuses and the sale of indulgences by church officials.
What he supposedly posted on the Wittenberg Castle Church door on October 31, 1517 was the 95 Theses or called " A Disputation on the Power and Efficacy Indulgences".
the 95 thesis on the power and efficacy of indulgences or Disputatio pro declaratione virtutis indulgentiarum as it was also written in latin.
Luther posted his "95 thesis on the power and efficacy of indulgences" on the church door in 1517, although there is some doubt as to whether or not the thesis was ever posted on the door.
The practice of granting an indulgence, which is the remission of temporal punishment due to sin (i.e., remission of restitution) have not ended. In fact, the Catholic Church has an official book of indulgences that is still in use today. What has ended was the corrupt practice of selling indulgences. The practice of selling indulgences was a problem that existed at least from the late 1300s till the early to mid 1500s. In fact, it was one of the "theses" that was pointed out by Martin Luther on his 95 Theses in 1517. By the mid-late 1500s, however, the practice of selling indulgences had largely died out.
The 1517 call for church reform posted on the Wittenberg Cathedral's door is titled the "Ninety-Five Theses." Authored by Martin Luther, it challenged the Catholic Church's practices, particularly the sale of indulgences. This document is often credited with sparking the Protestant Reformation and led to significant religious and political changes in Europe.
