14.3 The Protestant Reformation
Abuses in the Church
 By R. times, the
church was very
wealthy & powerful.
 Popes had a lavish
lifestyle & financed
the arts.
 To pay for this, some
promoted the sale of
indulgences. (less
time in purgatory)

Once given for good
deeds…

Church abuses erupted.

professor, Martin Luther

Wittenberg, the priest
was selling indulgences…

nailed his 95 theses to
the door of the church.

across Europe & the pope
called on Luther to recant
his views.

excommunicated.
