The early 1500s were uncertain times in northern Europe. Disparities in wealth, a new market economy, and religious discontent all bred uncertainty. Humanist ideas for social reform grew in popularity. More people began to question the central force in their lives—the Church. The printing press spread knowledge and new ideas quickly.

The church had become involved in worldly politics. Popes: Competed for political power. Fought wars to protect the Papal States. Plotted against powerful monarchs who sought to control papal lands. Lived in luxury, supported the arts, and hired artists to beautify churches.

To finance their lifestyles, church officials charged fees for services such as baptisms and marriages. Some clergy also sold indulgences. Only the rich could afford to buy them.

He believed that all Christians had equal access to God and did not need a priest to intervene. He wanted ordinary people to study the Bible. He banned the granting of indulgences, prayers to saints, pilgrimages, and confession. Luther’s teachings differed from those of the Roman Catholic Church.

Impact of Luther’s Protest

His followers took on the name “Protestants” because they were in protest against papal authority. Ministers used their sermons to attack corruption in the Roman Catholic Church. He permitted the clergy to marry. The printing press quickly spread Luther’s writings.

Some German princes saw Lutheranism as a chance to throw off the rule of both the Church and the Holy Roman emperor.

Charles V tried to force the German princes to return to the Catholic Church. Most in the north chose Lutheranism; most in the south chose Catholicism. Under this treaty, each prince chose a religion for his realm—either Catholic or Lutheran. In 1555, after several brief wars, Charles and the princes signed the Peace of Augsburg.
