"God writes the gospel
not in the Bible alone, but on trees, and flowers, and clouds, and stars." Martin Luther
Reformation
"The Protestant
Reformation was a
reform movement in
Europe that began in 1517, though its roots lie further back in time. It
began with
Martin Luther and may
be considered to have ended with the
Peace of Westphalia in
1648...The movement
began as an attempt to reform the
Catholic Church. Many
western
Catholics were troubled
by what they saw as false doctrines and malpractices within the Church,
particularly involving the teaching and sale of
indulgences. Another
major contention was the practice of buying and selling church positions
(simony)
and what was seen at the time as considerable corruption within the
Church's hierarchy. This corruption was seen by many at the time as
systemic, even reaching the position of the
Pope."
