Monks typically take vows as part of their commitment to their spiritual practice and community life. Common vows include chastity, poverty, and obedience, which signify a renunciation of worldly attachments and a dedication to spiritual growth.

Why did Luther stop being a monk?

Martin Luther stopped being a monk after he became increasingly disillusioned with the practices and doctrines of the Catholic Church, particularly the sale of indulgences and the emphasis on works for salvation. He believed that salvation was attained through faith alone, not through monastic life or rituals. In 1520, he formally renounced his monastic vows, aligning himself with his emerging theological beliefs that emphasized personal faith and direct access to God. This decision was a pivotal moment in the Protestant Reformation.
