Cause of the Protestant Reformation?
¨The Protestant Reformation was caused by Martin Luther, during the 16th century. ¨The Reformation did not occur in orthodox Christianity in Russia or what was left of the Byzantine empire in Greece. ¨It was called the protestant reformation because it was originally an attempt to reform the traditional institutions of the western church but also supporting the motivation of offerings for the means of salvation. ¨Martin Luther became very unhappy with the Roman Catholic Church and how it had became. One particular practice that he didn't like was when priests will sell "entrances to heaven" to people in exchange for money. The Roman Catholic Church were selling indulgences, saying that if you buy it, you have salvation, and people like Martin Luther didn't agree with that, saying that by God's grace we are saved. ¨Luther later posted all his complaints about the Catholic Church in the door of a Catholic church thus starting the Protestant Reformation.
What differences in religious beliefs brought about the Reformation?
some people believed that the church should not be allowed to sell indulgences. They also believed that individuals should interpret the Bible themselves. Others believed that only the Pope and other church officials interpret the Bible. This led some people to leave the Roman Catholic church
Who started the Reformation?
Martin Luther's private doubt that the Pope had the authority to sell indulgences (paper documents that one could buy to free oneself from a sin) grew into a church debate after Luther nailed 95 theses against the church door in Wittenberg. This practice of displaying an invitation for a scholarly debate was normal at that time, particularly for a professor of theology, which is what Luther was. Luther's reluctance to believe in absolute papal authority was not a singular man's concern: there were numerous other scholars who challenged the grip of the Catholic clergy onto laypersons. Among the educated and/or well-to-do citizens, many felt that the Church was politically too powerful. The zeitgeist smacked of other things: mercantilism, humanism, the stirrings of individuality, a yearning for more freedom. Luther was forced to see the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, but would not recant. A powerful duke (of Saxony) "kidnapped" Luther on his way home from the meeting with the emperor and hid him in his castle. There Luther translated the Bible into the German language -- breaking a thousand-year-old necessity to have Latin-trained clergy mediate biblical content to laity. Afterward, the people who protested the Catholic Church's monopoly on the relations between God and humans called themselves Lutherans or Protestants. This schism was the single most-weakening event in the Catholic Church.
