    Martin Luther was a Catholic priest who began questioning church doctrine after seeing corruption among other priests in Rome. He disagreed with the church's selling of indulgences and belief that the church provided salvation, instead believing that salvation was a gift from God through faith alone. Luther nailed 95 arguments against the church to a door and had the Bible translated to German, directly challenging church authority. This led the Pope to excommunicate Luther, though his ideas spread rapidly throughout Europe and helped form Protestantism.

    Martin Luther

    Martin Luther
    Luther was a Catholic priest. He visited Rome early in his career. He saw other priests acting sinfully and began to question church doctrine. He did not believe the church could provide salvation.

    Luthers Beliefs
    For it is by grace that you have been saved, through faith and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God not by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9 Grace (noun) Divine (Godly) love and protection bestowed (given) freely on people.

    Luther disagreed with indulgences because he said only God could forgive sins, not man. He directly challenged the church on this and other issues. He risked excommunication and even death.

    Luthers Challenge
    Luther nailed 95 arguments (theses) to the door of the local church for all to see. He also translated the Bible into German, the language of the commoners.
    Uh who cares?

    The Popes Response


    Luther was excommunicated after he refused to take back his statements. He had the support of German nobles who protected him. His ideas spread very rapidly over Europe despite the churchs response.

    Changes in the Church

    Luthers idea spread rapidly throughout Europe. Millions of people converted to Catholic Protestantism. Some people went so far as to violently rise up again the Churchs control. He was a hero to some, a criminal to others.

    Protestant (Lutheran, Anglican, etc.)

    The Catholic Church wanted to stop the spread of Protestantism. It was losing followers which meant it was losing money. They refocused on strictly following the commands and rules of the Church.

    The Jesuits
    A group of Catholics who followed Church rules obsessively. Penance (working off sins) was a key teaching. They hoped this would help remove the corruption but not ruin the church.

    The Council of Trent


    Catholic bishops gathered to make some changes. 1. No more selling indulgences (still have them, just cant sell them) 2. Bishops must live near their church.

    Competition

    The Missionaries
    The churches were now competing for members. Each sent missionaries around the world to find new converts. This lead to discovering America and new relationships with Japan.

    Protestant England settled in what is now the United States. Catholic Spain and France settled in what is now Mexico and South America.

    Things to Remember
    1. Problems in the church like selling indulgences led to the Reformation. 2. Martin Luther and others argued that God provided salvation, not the church.

    3. France and Spain remained Catholic and spread Catholicism to Mexico and South America. 4. England and Germany became Protestant and spread Protestantism into what is now the USA.
