📜 Martin Luther was a German monk and theologian who initiated the Protestant Reformation in 1517 after nailing "95 Theses" to the door of the Wittenberg Castle Church.
💰 He strongly opposed the Catholic Church's practice of selling indulgences, which promised people forgiveness of sins in exchange for money.
⚔️ His theses challenged the authority of the Pope and the Church's role in granting salvation and sparked debates across Europe, leading to significant religious and political conflicts and changes.
