Catholic AnswerEscape the Catholic Church? I have read his biography, to the best of my knowledge, he opened the front door of his Friary one day, and walked out the front door taking all of his belongings, such as they were (he had taken a vow of poverty) and walked away. For a good cause, one may petition Rome to be released from one's vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. Martin Luther did not ask permission, did not petition either his superiors or Rome for release. He just turned his back on his solemn vows, and all of his solemnly professed religious beliefs, he turned his back on God and his Church and walked away, dumping poverty, chastity, obedience, and, God forbid, his eternal salvation with it.Add your answer:

How does one achieve salvation according to Luther?
Luther said justification - God's act of declaring a sinner righteous - was by faith alone through God's grace. This not just what Luther said this is what the Bible says. That is, salvation is through faith in God. Faith that God in His grace has provided a way for man to escape the coming judgement. As Luther studied the Bible he became convinced that the church was corrupt in its ways and had lost sight of what he saw as several of the central truths of Christianity.
Why did Martin Luther become a monk?
Martin Luther was never a monk, he was an Augustinian Friar. Martin Luther decided to become a friar when he was caught in a tragic scary thunderstorm. He prayed to God that if he spared his life and protected him from the storm he'd become a friar. And so God did as Luther prayed for, and as a result of this, Luther entered the local Augustinian Friar and became a friar not a monk. However, modern researchers have revealed another possible motivation that varies from the traditional story, citing Luther's "desperation to escape an impending arranged marriage" at the age of 21.

Why did Martin Luther break with zwingli?
There were many reasons. The "final straw" was the selling of indulgences in order to fund the building of St. Peter's Basilica, under construction at the time. The faithful could pay money in order to get the soul of a loved one released from purgatory (a concept that is not recognized by other mainstream Christian denominations, and which was discredited even by John Paul II) and freed to enter heaven. The church taught that the time in purgatory could be hundreds or thousands of years. Purgatory was like hell, but not permanent. Once in hell, there is no escape. People who were sent to purgatory died still with stains on their soul, but not caused by unconfessed "mortal" sin. No heaven if you didn't get totally purified first! So the faithful could be in agony over the thought that deceased loved ones were burning in purgatory, when they had enough money to buy them out. It's not hard to see why Luther had problems with this. Rome broke with Dr. Martin Luther, by excommunicating him in 1521, leaving him no other choice but to participate in congregations not controlled by the Church of Rome, otherwise suffer inquisition if caught or found by the Holy See. In 1517, conciliarism was challenged by the Papacy of Rome, and the Papacy won that challenge, overthrowing the Catholic Council of Bishops' authority over Catholic theology. The Papacy adopted Primacy of the Pope as dogma and doctrine, to prevent theological challenges to Papal bulls in future generations of Popes. Catholic priests defected from the Holy See of Rome throughout the Holy Roman Empire; establishing or transferring congregations to retain their traditional Catholic faith as they understood it; outside the influence of civil intervention in theological affairs where the Holy Roman Empire would intervien through the Holy See of Rome. The United States broke with Rome under the Monroe Doctrine and Rosevelt Corolary; both of which denounced Primacy of the Pope to appoint or dispose of civil servants at the time, will, or direction of the Papacy's choosing. The Holy See of Rome is technically a theocratic religion that doesn't observe civil authority or the voting-in of elected officials; only rule by way of the priesthood is recognized for the purpose of rule of law and political appointments. This language still exists, but isn't discussed or enforced in our modern era and will continue to be a contentious aspect of government vs. Catholic-Latin Rite theocracy. Dr. Martin Luther preached the Two Kingdoms or Two Realms; where God has control over both, but congregations only exersice spiritual authority within the walls of the Church; while exerting spiritual influence in the civil kingdom or civil realm. Lutheran theology strictly prohibits theocratic rule of authority; which is a polar opposite from the Holy See of Rome.

Did the Spanish colonized the Americas in order to escape from the dictates of the Catholic church?
In some specific instances, it is possible certain immigrants from Spain chose to resettle in the Americas to escape the Catholic church. However, Catholic missionaries were among the first Spanish colonists to arrive in the Americas and they worked hard to spread their faith among the native peoples. The broad generalization from history is that Spanish colonists were primarily interested in the economic benefits of settling in a new land - gold, agriculture, trade and exports with Spain, etc.
