    reform movement
    • The Protestant Reformation began in
    Wittenberg, Germany, on October 31, 1517,
    when Martin Luther, a teacher and a monk,
    published a document he called Disputation on
    the Power of Indulgences, or 95 Theses. The
    document was a series of 95 ideas about
    Christianity that he invited people to debate
    with him. These ideas were controversial
    because they directly contradicted the Catholic
    Church's teachings.
