Luther to the faith to the people, being against the bloated powerhouse that was then the church, telling everyone what, when, how, where and who. The church believed the peasants were too ignorant to decide for themselves and so told them what to believe. Luther believed in personal faith.

Luther made The Bible available to them in a language they could understand, as the Catholic church kept the Word of God in Latin which was the language of the educated only. Also, through the selling of indulgences, the poor were exploited by the Catholic church, and Luther sought to liberate them from this.
