Although, the Protestant Reformation was very important and without it, many other religions would not be here today, Luther’s beliefs caused him to be killed. Now, I’m not sure if this is more questioning on the Pope or Luther, but you would think they would have been able to make some sort of agreement where they could agree to disagree. On Luther’s part, there must have been a better way to communicated that he wasn’t in agreeance with the indulgences going on. He took a fairly passive-aggressive way of going about the whole thing. He posted the theses on the door and just waited for someone to find them. Now there is some skepticism about whether or not he actually nailed it on the door, but it was posted or sent somewhere and traveled throughout the continent quickly. On the Pope’s part, Luther should not have been killed. He already had been excommunicated, but death seems a little extreme. Especially since it says in the Bible not to murder. You would think the Pope, of all people, would follow that commandment. Nevertheless, what happened has happened and we can only study the reasoning behind it and try to avoid future
