History: Martin Luther

     Martin Luther challenged the Roman Catholic Church necause the Pope was first selling indulgences. Then the Pope was gaining too much power over the Church. "The pope boasted that he was the head of the Church, and condemned all that would not be under his power", Martin Luther didn't like how instead of saying God was the head of the Church , , the pope said he was. Martin Luther was a German Monk who thought that men should have the same knowledge as the church did. He not only translated the Bible to German he also nailed his 95 Theses to the door of his Church.

     I think Martin Luther was more concerned with spiritual reforms becuase during the Peasants Revolt he called them disobedient and not true Christians and he sided with the Germanic Princes during the revolution. He wrote a admonition  about the peasants and later he wrote a tract describing how the peasants were murderous and thieves.
