Protestant Reformation
Spread of the Protestant Reformation (Isabella)
When the Church did not respond to Luther's complaints, he called on German princes to overthrow the papacy and establish a reformed German Church.
Luther's movement turned into a revolution. Many of the German lords and rulers agreed with him. Luther seized on this and set up new services to replace Catholicism.
Luther posted complaints against the Catholic Church on the Church door. These were called the Ninety-Five Theses. The largest complaint was for the sale of indulgences.

The Peace of Augsburg was created and it ended religious warfare in Germany and accepting christianity and gave the people to chose between Catholicism and Lutherism.
Citizens did not get freedom of individual choice and they had to follow the selection of their lord or ruler.
Lords and rulers backed Luther and challenged Charles V. Charles V was unable to defeat them and soon found peace.

Origins of the Protestant Reformation (Isabella)
Christian Humanism had the goal to reform the Catholic Church. Erasmus believed they should return to the simpler days of Christianity that did not favor pilgrimages, fasts, and relics. He also wrote The Praise of Folly, which criticized the Church and clergy who visited shrines.
Large complaint came with the Church sale of indulgences. This made people upset because not everyone could afford these indulgences which meant they couldn't make it to Heaven.
Luther began the Protestant Reformation. Intellectual changes that occurred during the century prior has set the stage for religious change. Changes drew from Christian Humanism and the work of Erasmus.
