At the Diet of Worms in 1521, Martin Luther famously defended his beliefs when he stated, "Here I stand; I can do no other." He refused to recant his writings, which challenged the Catholic Church's practices, particularly the sale of indulgences. Luther emphasized the importance of Scripture and faith over church authority, asserting that his conscience was captive to the Word of God. His bold stance at the Diet marked a pivotal moment in the Protestant Reformation.
