A:Martin Luther opposed indulgences and posted 95 theses. He also used Erasmus' Latin Translation of the Greek New Testament, but it is hard to consider him to be truly the theological successor to Desiderius Erasmus. Erasmus lived until 1536, well after the start of the Reformation. He remained a Catholic but believed strongly in dialogue and persuasion and so sought to move the Catholic Church away from using coercion to retain its followers, whereas Luther accepted coercion as a means of maintaining the faith.
