Q. How did the church initially react to the printing and dissemination of Luther's 95 Theses in Wittenberg? Why did they have such a strong appeal in Germany?

A. Well, they excommunicated him (kicked him out for life)... I suspect that Germans had a strong reaction in his favor because, as many theologians will tell you, many of his his 95 grievances were legit and correct. Keep in mind that the Catholic Church's governing body was pretty corrupt at the time, and also had a lot of political clout. Mr. Luther was looking to correct this just as much as he was their interpretation of the Bible.

A. Step out of yourself and try to picture what was going on in Martin Luther's head. I'm not going to do your assignment for you, but I'll give you an example in the music of Tchaikovsky. You know that Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky (PIT) lived in Russia under the rule of the Czar. PIT loved Russia and the structure of the Imperial court system, although maybe not some of the policies of the Czar. He also loved music: listening to it, playing it, creating it. But that didn't really pay well. The only way for a musician to get money for rent and food and concert tickets was to have patrons, or sponsors. These were rich people who liked to be thought of as cultured, so they gave money to artists and musicians to make it seem like they were… [cont.]

A. As October 31 is All Saints Eve, many devout Catholics, especially seminary students, would have been attending Mass that evening. He posted them on the Castle Church doors, much like a bulletin board, announcing that he would be holding a debate in the coming weeks to discuss these 95 points.

A. Luther's main complaint concerned the selling of indulgences. According to the Catholic Church, an indulgence gave the bearer forgiveness of a past sin or a future sin. If you decided you wanted to kill someone, you could purchase an indulgence and be forgiven of that sin before you carried out the murder. You could also purchase an indulgence for someone who was dead. So, if your father or mother murdered a slew of people, you could purchase them out of hell with and indulgence. In the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries, the Papacy undertook a massive building program in Rome, including St. Peter's Basilica and St. Paul's Church. In order to fund these projects, and maintain the Papacy in a royal lifestyle, Catholic bishops strongly pushed… [cont.]

Asked by I SPEAK ONLY THE TRUTH! - Wed Feb 3 18:49:14 2010 - - 14 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Hard to say. Quite possibly not all that different - there were reform movements in the Catholic church throughout the middle ages - some orthodox, some deemed heretical. The Catholic Church would probably have reformed its own abuses, as it did at Trent. And the social and economic changes in Northern Europe that followed the Reformation would almost certainly have occurred anyway: they spread the Reformation, not vice versa. In short, I think the Protestant reformation has been severely over-rated.

Did Martin Luther nail his 95 theses to the door of the church or to the door of the church tower nearby?
Q. Does anyone know for sure? It seems unlikely to me that posters and flyers, "bills" as they were then called, would be routinely tacked to the actual front entrance (door) of a church in medieval times --- that would be too disrespectful. I think it much more likely that the door to the church tower, a few steps away, would have been used for hanging public notices.
Asked by Michael S - Tue Feb 19 04:05:06 2008 - - 4 Answers - 1 Comments

A. Simple answer -- there would be NO problem with that location, but are some who cast reasonable doubt on the story that Luther did so on this occasion There are really TWO questions here -- 1) did/would people post such things on the main CHURCH door (as opposed to, say, the nearby tower door)? quick answer -- in fact, they did do just such things, and no historian seems to question the actual practice 2) did LUTHER post the 95 theses ... at all?! quick answer: this is the common popular view. It is based on a later statement by Melanchthon. Luther himself never spoke of having done so,and there are some reasons to question whether he did or would have done so at that time To clarify: 1) I can find NO biographer or historian who… [cont.]

Asked by !ale in wonderland ! - Sun Oct 19 12:43:50 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The purpose of the 95 Theses was to invite local scholars to a disputation on indulgences. It was an academic exercise. The subtitle read, "Out of love and zeal for truth and the desire to bring it to light, the following theses will be publicly discussed at Wittenberg under the chairmanship of the reverend father Martin Lutther, Master of Arts and Sacred Theology and regularly appointed Lecturer on these subjects at that place. He requests that those who cannot be present to debate orally with us will do so by letter. In the Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen." That disputation took place in Wittenberg two weeks later. Luther did not intend the Theses to be a program for reform, an attack on the Pope, etc. He was simply questioning… [cont.]

Asked by bumblebee - Wed Apr 1 01:20:01 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I think so. Luther's revolt wasn't out of the clear blue sky. Protestantism was building for a long time. It started with reform movements that founded houses like the Benedictines, which originally started as an attempt to reclaim Jesus's way of doing things. Unfortunately the new orders became rich and fat and corrupt, and new movements rose. Then people started to get more impatient about it all (maybe the multiple Popes thing had something to do with it), and heretical sects arose. The Cathars in Bohemia and modern-day southern France got stomped in the Albigensian "crusade". Later on, Wycliffe and Hus came on. They could have been the start of full-born Protestantism, but I think they didn't achieve critical mass or something.… [cont.]

Asked by BagelObsession. - Wed May 27 22:30:39 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The background to Luther's Ninety-Five Theses centers on particular disputes within the Catholic Church regarding confession and absolution. Significantly, the Theses offer a view on indulgences (remission of temporal punishment due for sins which have already been forgiven) validity. They also view with great cynicism the practice of induldenges being sold, and thus the penance for sin representing a financial transaction rather than genuine contrition. Luther's theses positioned indulgences was a gross violation of the original intention of confession and penance, and that Christians were being falsely told that they could find absolution through the purchase of indulgences. idk, you're very very welcome. haha joke. idek.

A. Read the 95 theses. Take care there is "revisionism" at work trying to whitewash the actions of the Roman church. The Roman church created it's own fall. Understand that the Roman church was riddled with inconsistent doctrines and playing power games with the rulers of nations. There was a great deal of what is considered today as Corruption. Business had to buy the right to trade and sell. people feared their loved ones were in limbo or hell and the church sold the way out Church and state were intertwined.
