Imagine you are the Pope, leader of the Catholic Church, at the time of the Protestant Reformation. You have been informed of Luther’s teachings and how they challenge the Church. You have asked him to take them back, and he refused. Now, you are excommunicating him, and letting everyone know by creating a Wanted! poster for him. Your poster must have the following:
The word Wanted! in large letters across the top
A picture (hand drawn and colored!) of Martin Luther
A list of at least 3 charges against him
The punishment he will face
A reward for turning him in
For his charges, think about how Luther’s teachings would have been illegal at the time. Think about how they would have challenged the Catholic Church. This should give you good ideas for at least 3 crimes the Church would have charged Luther with.
