Detailed explanation-1: -He objected not only to the church’s greed but to the very idea of indulgences. He did not believe the Catholic Church had the power to pardon people sins. Rather, Luther thought that salvation could be achieved only through God’s mercy. No one needed to seek or buy salvation through the church.
Detailed explanation-2: -Luther wanted to reform Roman Catholicism. He believed that Catholic leaders misunderstood the Bible. Luther insisted the Bible was the only source of religious authority and that messages from the pope-or from Luther himself-lacked that authority.
Detailed explanation-3: -The key ideas of the Reformation-a call to purify the church and a belief that the Bible, not tradition, should be the sole source of spiritual authority-were not themselves novel.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Jesuits helped carry out two major objectives of the Counter-Reformation: Catholic education and missionary work.
