1. The Protestant Reformation Modern World History 10 2011-2012 Androstic

2. Martin Luther Catholic monk in Wittenberg, Germany Studied the bible, and developed his own theory on salvation His theory was called justification by faith

3. Justification by faith… Salvation comes from faith alone, because no person can perform enough good works to earn salvation. This idea conflicted with Catholic teachings, but Luther read it in the Bible. He therefore saw the Bible as the source of absolute truth, not what religious leaders (like the pope) said.

4. Major complaints that Martin Luther had with the Catholic Church. Luther’s biggest complaint was over the sale of indulgences. Indulgences were documents sold by the church. Purchasing one was advertised as a way to have your sins forgiven. Luther believed these indulgences were simply a way for the church to earn money, and more likely hurt your chances for salvation by buying them.

5. What did Luther do? He posted a list of his complaints on the Castle Church door in Wittenberg (1517). These are now known as the “95 Theses.”

6. The church’s reaction to Martin Luther’s protests: 1517-1520: Requiring Luther to recant (go back on) his criticisms of the church. 1520: Luther was excommunicated from the church. 1521: The Diet of Worms declared Luther an outlaw, ordered his writings burned, and called for his capture and execution.
