Detailed explanation-1: -Luther believed people were saved by faith alone and that this was the summary of all Christian doctrine, and that the Catholic Church of his day had got this wrong. It’s often stated Catholics, by contrast to Protestants, believe a mixture of faith and works is necessary for salvation.
Detailed explanation-2: -Luther argued against the practice of buying or earning forgiveness, believing instead that salvation is a gift God gives to those who have faith. Luther’s objections to the indulgence system paved the way for other challenges to the Catholic doctrine throughout Europe.
Detailed explanation-3: -It was the year 1517 when the German monk Martin Luther pinned his 95 Theses to the door of his Catholic church, denouncing the Catholic sale of indulgences-pardons for sins-and questioning papal authority. That led to his excommunication and the start of the Protestant Reformation.
