Learn what led Martin Luther to formulate his 95 Theses, putting him in conflict with the Catholic Church.

Martin Luther is born into a world dominated by the Catholic Church. After entering the monastery, Luther becomes increasingly doubtful that the church can actually offer him salvation. His views crystallize further when he travels to Rome and finds the capital of Catholicism swamped in corruption. Wracked by despair, Luther finds release in the pages of the bible, discovering that his own individual faith will guarantee his salvation. In his famous 95 Theses, he attacks the practice of selling Indulgences, putting himself on an irreversible path to conflict with the most powerful institution of the day.
