FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) January 10, 2009 --

Martin Luther was a man who wanted to serve God with all he had, baptized a Catholic at birth set him on a journey that made him consider all the possibilities and even question what he was taught as a child. Both parents being devoted Catholics had high expectations for him. When he went off to school He learned what he was taught and even went beyond the class room once he was able to understand the Fundamentals, the Doctrine of the Church anything else a person can learn as a Catholic, in his quest he became a Catholic Priest, now keep in mind he studied for many years, we can’t even ponder in our minds what he had to learn in order to be prepared to teach and counsel and even hear one’s confession. We think of a lot of things when it comes to the word PRIEST. However when Martin Luther kept being educated, he decided he was going to write literature that could change way people think, he wanted it to be a good thing even if it did get top honors he was happy he could betray the ways of the Catholic Church, A piece of literature that comes to mind is the 95 Theses. In this he wrote this hoping everyone and anyone would read it and cite with him, once it got to the Pope in his time, there was much objection to his writing, and when Martin retaliated the Pope would not hear of it. He told Martin Luther that the rules of the church were as they stand and if Martin could not abide by them that he would be in serious trouble.

Wouldn’t you know Martin kept pursuing the thoughts of how he felt about the Catholic Church, especially everything he was taught he did not seem to agree with it all. He felt that certain rules should not have to apply when not necessary. In this effort he disregarded what the Pope had said to him, and him kept spreading the material he had written, hoping those he knew even those with same vocation as himself or higher could convince the Pope to make some changes. However in his time as a Priest he did whatever it took even push the envelop and it cost him dearly, the Pope got word, and he was immediately excommunicated for not following orders, and he would go on trial for his writings and his theology on the subject, those who knew Martin Luther, tried to petition on his behalf but his 95 Theses and other writings we subjected to much scrutiny. On trial before his peers Martin Luther tried in every way possible to show his writings were beneficial, but it turns out they were disregarded and Martin was banned. He had been asked to do lectures before this ban occurred, because he knew much of what he was writing and what he had study before and after the Priesthood. He wanted to be influential but it was not enough to convince the Pope.
Martin Luther decided if he could not portray what was right and wrong as the far as the Doctrine of the Church goes, then he would start a reformation where most of the rules and regulations of the church did not apply. He wanted be able to worship, so kept writing & Lecturing.
