Martin Luther initiated it in his protest largely against the practice of "selling of Indulgences" which was at the time being used to fund the construction of St. Peter's in Rome. He published his "95 Theses" to raise what he felt were important issues for discussion in the church, but the Pope excommunicated him. German Princes that wished to split away from the Holy Roman Empire then decided to take political advantage of Luther and encouraged him to create the first Protestant church: the Lutheran Church. This removed the political power of the Pope to excommunicate those Princes and close the churches in their lands, thus denying the people access the Church Ritual and usually causing a popular uprising that would force the Princes to either repent or be deposed and replaced. Instead the churches in their lands would be Lutheran, which the Pope could not control.
