He wrote the 95 theses against indulgence abuse.
The 95 Theses
Martin Luther wrote and made public "The Ninety-Five Theses". This was a list of questions and propositions (mainly about the abuse of indulgences) for public debate.
Kings and princes in northern Europe resented the power of the Catholic Church. Also: The reformers were were not happy with a lot of the teaching and practices of the Late Medieval Catholic Church . The selling/abuse of indulgences was a concern of Luther. The reform movement really gained momentum When Martin Luther wrote and made public "The Ninety-Five Theses". This was a list of questions and propositions (mainly about the abuse of indulgences) for public debate.
Luther basically created the ninety-five theses because he thought the whole idea of indulgences were foolish.
Child abuse
Gaslighting itself is not explicitly illegal in the United States. However, it can be considered a form of emotional abuse and manipulation, which may be addressed through civil or criminal laws depending on the specific circumstances.
Great question! :)The actual posting of his theses on the church door per se did not provoke a reaction. It was the academic custom of the age to offer an argument in this manner and invite public debate on an issue. (Armenio 2005, p. 469)However, the content of his theses, such as his criticism of the abuse of indulgences at the time, drew the attention of the Archbishop of Mainz who forwarded Luther's theses to Pope Leo X. Pope Leo X, however, initially considered the critique a minor incident. (cf. Armenio 2005, p. 469)Cardinal Cajetan, O.P., Sylvester Prierias, Johann Eck and other prominent Catholic theologians would then study Luther's theses to prepare to respond. Luther was later invited to Leipzig on June 27, 1519 to discuss difficulties that were found in his theology supporting his theses. By the end of the debate, it became clear that Luther had taken a position contrary to Church teaching. Because of his break with Church teaching, Catholic scholars such as Erasmus who had once sympathized with Luther began to withdraw their support (cf. Armenio 2005, p. 470)Unfortunately, his break with Church teaching was considered so severe as to be considered heretical. Pope Leo X issued the bull Exsurge Domine which gave Luther two months to formally retract his opinions under threat of excommunication. A few decades later, Luther died in his sleep on February 18, 1546, without having reconciled with the Church. (cf. Armenio 2005, pp. 470, 475)REFERENCESArmenio, P. Socias, J. ed.

Elder abuse can take place anywhere, but the two main settings addressed by law are domestic settings, such as the elder's home or the caregiver's home, and institutional settings
People like Martin Luther King had punishments like abuse , jail , and being treated unfairly.
Once a child turns 18, they are legally considered an adult, so actions that might have constituted child abuse would no longer fall under that specific legal definition. However, if the behavior is harmful or manipulative, it could still be described as emotional or psychological abuse, depending on the circumstances. Additionally, any ongoing harmful behavior could be addressed through other legal frameworks, such as harassment or domestic abuse laws.
