Martin Luther, the German cleric, did not invent any thing in a physical sense. He openly criticized the Catholic church, and began the Protestant branch of Christianity.
Martin Luther
His main purpose in challenging the Church with the posting of the 95 theses was that he disagreed with the selling of indulgences. An indulgence is the full or partial forgiveness of mortal sins for payment. These payments were going to the building of St. Peter's Basilica. They were basically get-into-heaven-for-a-price card.
Perhaps the most important influennce that Roman Empire had on Christianity was its unity. Prior to the fourth century, the Christian Church was quite fragmented, with different factions holding different beliefs on important issues. Martin Palmer (The Jesus Sutras) says that the ideal of One Church is a historical invention of the fourth and fifth centuries, after the Western Church had become the faith of the Roman Empire.Emperor Constantine saw the Church as a potential unifying force in the Empire, but knew that the Church could not unify the Empire unless it was, itself, united. He set out to impose order, creating a stable hierarchy under his leadership, and obtained consensus on important issues facing the Church. His support made membership of the Christian Church socially and politically desirable for some, thus leading to the surge in Church membership that enabled Christianity to become the state religion later in the fourth century.
Anglo Saxons became Christianized in the mid to late 6th century AD. Clerics from the Roman Church journeyed to the areas risking injury and death to evangelize them.
