Martin Luther is supposed to be father of ‘Protestantism’
in Christianity. This German monk and scholar who questioned the doctrines
of Roman catholic church in the first quarter of the 16th century is the
most famours name in the story of Reformation. With the passage of time
many evils had crept into the Roman Catholic religion and the priests
were taking full advantage of their position. Martin Luther was surprised
to learn that some priests were collecting funds for building St.Peter’s
Cathedral in Rome and in lieu of donations absolving the donors of their
sins. Luther was also sent such tickets. He flew into a rage and threw
it in a fire as there is no such provision in Bible, nor such absolution
of sins is permitted. He asked 90 questions to these priests and a copy
was pasted at the door of Wittenberg Church, which was the residence of
Pope who was the highest ecclesiastical authority. The entire Europe was
in ferment at this show of protest by Luther. Luther remained undaunted
and wrote many books and letters to Christian leaders to substantiate
his stand.
