This is generally held to be German Pastor Martin Luther, who nailed his 95 theses, a list of complaints about the activities of the Roman Catholic Church to the door of Wittenburg Cathedral in the year 1517. The main complaint was about the sale of indulgences, forgiveness for sins in exchange for money.

During this period the king of England also split from the Catholic church because he did not wish to be controlled by them in his marital affair's. The Catholic church was the victim of its own power becoming a murderous and corrupt institution as the result of lack of competition.
