Lutheranism became a revolution in the early sixteenth century largely due to Martin Luther's challenges to the Catholic Church, particularly with his Ninety-Five Theses in 1517, which criticized the sale of indulgences and other church practices. His teachings emphasized salvation through faith alone, the priesthood of all believers, and the authority of Scripture over church tradition. This resonated with many who were disillusioned with the corruption within the Church, leading to widespread support and the formation of new Protestant communities. The movement also gained momentum through the printing press, which facilitated the rapid dissemination of Luther's ideas across Europe.

Roman Catholic AnswerAs there are no census figures from the sixteenth and seventeenth century, we are going to have to go with a general picture. At the beginning of the sixteenth century, aside from a few Jews and Arabs in Europe, everyone was Catholic for the simple reason that Martin Luther had not yet come on the scene and lost his mind yet. A century later, due to political reasons, most of the Scandanavian countries, along with the Netherlands, England, and northern Germany had become predominately protestant, with France, Spain, Austria, Sourthern Germany, and Italy remaining Roman Catholic.
