On October 31, 1517, legend has it that the priest and scholar
Martin Luther approached the door of the Castle Church in
Wittenberg, Germany, and nailed a piece of paper to it
containing the 95 revolutionary opinions that would begin
the Protestant Reformation.
In his theses, Luther condemned the excesses and corruption
of the Roman Catholic Church, especially the papal practice
of asking payment—called “indulgences”—for the forgiveness
of sins.
By the time Luther died, of natural causes, his revolutionary
beliefs had formed the basis for the Protestant Reformation,
which would over the next three centuries revolutionize
Western civilization.
