Protestant Reformation In Germany, the movement for reform led to a split in the Church that produced a new form of Christianity called Protestantism. This started the Protestant Reformation; led by Martin Luther. Luther was a monk and professor that criticized the power and corruption of the Catholic church in 1517. Famous for his “95 Theses” that criticized church practices
What was Luther’s “problem?” Topics of 95 Theses: Baptism Powers of clergy Rejected indulgences Removing sin Punishment for heresy Use of confession
