Martin Luther felt the Catholic churchChurch had strayed from its original purpose as a holy place, when it began accepting money in exchange for forgiveness. The 95 Theses forever changed the Christian religion; this event was made possible because of the Protestant Revolution and the invention of the printing press. The result of this revolution was a change in the religious options of the time period. Previously one could be Catholic,; following Martin Luther’s rebellion, one could be Catholic or Protestant.
