Roman Catholic Church Luther Doctrines Luther's
419 wordsIn 1517, Martin Luther challenged papal authority and what he saw as the commercialization of his faith. Luther's primary concern was the sale of indulgences -- papal grants of reduced punishment in the afterlife, including releases from purgatory.

In the process, Luthe...
