Christan Churhc and played the role in the development of Protestantism. Luther was born at

Eislebenin Saxony. Since his father was a miner, it was a great distress on him to send Martin to

school and then to the University of Erfurt. That is where he earned his master’s degree at the

young age of twenty-one(Erikson, 39). Although his father wished him to study law, Martin,

after being terribly frightened in a thunderstorm, vowed to become a Friar. He entered the

monastery of the Augustinian friars at Erfurt and was ordained a priest(Erikson, 167). He

eventually earned a doctorate of theology. He grew disburbed by the growing abouve of

indulgences. The cetrificate granted by the people in return for the payment of a fee to the

church. It stated that the sould of a dead relative or a friend of the purchaser would have his time

in purgatory reduced by many year’s or cancelled together. Also the person had to by an

indulgence. This would allow them to receive their earthly penance, since no one knows that

God’s ultimate punishment will be. The Catholic Church faith now has a doctrine to back the

wife(45). They also, believed that if the money jingles in the box, souls are

delievered from pungatory and all the sins will be foreign through a letter of indulgence(Neil, 21).
