people. I began a revolutionary division even though I started out small, But I allowed change to happen with a greater cause. To begin, my story starts off as young Martin Luther was walking in a hell storm and promised the big man in the sky that he would become a priest and worship god in exchange for sparing his life. As Martin Luther's life went on, he was forced to move to a different city as a monk, where he helped those in need. When he was there he noticed the current priest Johann…

word often forgotten in the eyes of the Roman Catholic church, it is not however, a word forgotten by citizens. This in an idea that will reinforce community within the church and within neighbours, and the man to lead citizens to a better world, is Martin Luther. Luther is a German who believes heavily in creating a better future for all citizens through creating a better church that is focused solely on the importance of Faith within oneself. This can be clearly proven by looking at his…

of the time period were Henry VIII from France and Martin Luther from Germany. They became very similar in many ways, while still different in others. While Henry and Luther both used their political advantage and declined the church in their own ways, their motives were completely different. For Henry and Luther, their religious appeals alone did not change the minds of the masses that soon became their followers, politics however did. Martin Luther first appealed to German hierarchy trying…

democracy. These changes can form into being good for society or they can have it turn for the worst. Adolf Hitler indicates that, “All great movement are popular movements”; that no movement is hated by the people, they are only loved and embraced. Martin Luther would disagree with the idea. His movements were unpopular to most of Europe at the beginning of his life. Movements of society always have opposition. These changes are created by “human passions and emotion”. Writer perspective is…

What I found to be particularly interesting in the Heresy Lecture – Part II was the Beguine movement as they were pious women that were deeply devoted to Christianity. The Beguines were a group of women that dwelled together in communal homes that became a movement for women. In addition, the Beguines were kind of a renegade Christian sect as they were not recognized as an official branch of Christianity. The homes that the Beguines lived in were referred to as a beguinage throughout Europe.…

Essay 2 In Luther’s, The Freedom of a Christian, he is writing to Pope Leo X to explain what the Pope was allowing to happen in the Holy Roman Empire. Luther explains to the Pope that the current situation of indulgences and corruption of the church are asinine on their part. Luther tries to explain that his reformation efforts are not attacking their religion, but instead asking them to analyze holy scripture to understand his ideas. Luther attempts to do this by writing, The Freedom of a…

Martin Luther, of Catholic peasant lineage promised to become God’s servant following a natural catastrophe. As a monk, he became disillusioned with the official Church, pope, and doctrine of forgiveness through works. Luther ultimately found forgiveness from the unbearable guilt of sin. He desired to fulfil God’s call, irrespective of the consequences, after God unburdened his soul. Luther didn’t always get everything correct, with horrendous historic consequences. Martin’s father, Hans…

Martin Luther started a religious reform with the intent to purify Christianity in the early 1500s, but his actions brought about an unintended social revolution. As the leader of the Reformation, he needed to take responsibility for what his movement caused. Yet, despite what his Catholic critics said, Luther never deviated from his support of the nobility, and was never a hypocrite in his views. His writings and teachings consistently defended the nobility’s power. In his Ninety-Five Theses,…

The greater effect on European Culture was the writings of Martin Luther. Luther was able to create a revolution and upset the system that had been in place since the official religion of the Roman Empire. Luther took on some of the Catholic Church’s doctrine, practices and created the great rift that still exists between the Christian populations of the world today. Luther’s writings sparked Protestantism as we know it today and this led to the eventual creation of the Anglican Church in…

Martin Luther Martin Luther once said, “the Word so greatly weakened the papacy that never a prince or emperor did such damage to it.” (BrainyQuote). Martin Luther said this statement about the Reformation which is a time period where a new branch of christianity was born. This reforming happenened because the Catholic Church was very corrupt and was more concerned about power than teaching about God. Martin Luther, a man who believed that the Catholic Church was corrupt, reformed the church…
