Corruption, indulgence, and Selling. Is the first I believe

Answer 3

Luther came from a very abusive household and developed many social and emotional problems. He originally went to school to become a lawyer, but then decided to become a priest.

He sold his law books to pay his bills while he went to seminary (which goes to show how astronomically expensive books were back then). After a time he became a priest but was still not able to resolve his personal issues. He was known to refuse absolution (Imagine that. Knowing and believing that God loves and forgives you, but simultaneously refusing it). He started coming up with new ideas for how a church should be.

He drew on his legal training and came up with a set of new doctrines. For one, he went against the Bible and said that sin is not taken away or removed, but just "covered up" because God "declares it." Then he said that only that which is written in The Bible is to be true, and because *he* was able to get that unBiblical idea just by reading, *everyone* must be able to derive the same point. This of course required him to remove parts of the Bible.

At the time, there were unscrupulous men who abused their position as priest for personal gain. This has been an issue for all religions for many years, but in that era, it was far harder to control. Luther took advantage of this to promote *his* agenda.

Luther was right to be outraged by these abused, but not right to use them as a spring board for his own agenda.

The rest is history.

Anyway, you have some flaws in your statements. I'll go over them.

Catholics are not "big on idolatry." Idolatry is just as big a sin to Catholics as it is to Protestants. The problem is that Protestants don't understand Catholicism at all and misconstrue certain things as idolatry. For example, they believe that asking saints to pray to God on our behalf (as in, we Catholics pray to God, but we ask saints to pray to God as well) is a form of idolatry. This has always confused me about their ideas, since it has always been clear and audible that we say prays and worship go to God and no one else.

Even so, there *are* Protestants that believe that the holy saints in Heaven with God, are praying for us. There exist many Lutherans in parts of the world that ask the saints to pray for us. Likewise, there are many Anglicans that do the same. The Anglicans at the church my wife (raised Anglican) grew up in, for example, say The Hail Mary.


There is not a "literal translation" of The Bible. There is an "accurate translation" and an "inaccurate translation." Though if you mean "interpretation" that isn't true either. There are many passages that Protestants take as allegorical despite the clear indication that it is to be taken literally. Such as the passages concerning The Eucharist.

Answer 5

hope this helps:)

Answer 6

The goal of the Holy Roman Empire is to keep the unity of it's territory thru religion. But many rulers of Germany supported Protestantism. They did not like the authority imposed to them by the Pope. The Holy Roman Empire, under the rule of King Charles V, created the Couhter Reformation, in order to convince people to go back to Catholicism. Unfortunately, Counter Reformation was not able to succeed, thus, forced the Holy Roman Empire to seek peace with the Lutheran princes. The Ausburg settlement was the dign that the religious struggle has come to an end.
