"When the son of a miner of Saxony, Luther, Lhuder, Lutter, Luther or Lotharius, as it was variously known, nailed his Ninety-five Theses on the door of the church All Saints in Wittenberg (the same city in which University would study imagines William Shakespeare Hamlet) on October 31, 1517, the last thing he wanted was to split the church, Catholic (= universal), and split the world into opposing camps "(Barzun, 2001). Nail thesis was common practice among the clergy, but soon was surprised how fast that they circulated and forwarded to the output. Luther
then said "just wanted to clarify the truth about the sacrament of penance" in the context-rather alarming for a mind-XXI century the practice of the sale of "indulgences", a sort of reserve small plot in Purgatory, which traded with the Church at that time.

Gospel.
Luther's arguments took three years to be discussed in the Papacy of Leo X, to conclude calling them heretics. Meanwhile Luther radicalized his position: "Every man is a priest," said, because "the Christian is a free man, master of all things, is not subject to anyone."
is the top extreme, but consistent, absolutely expected of all cultural movement, philosophical, ideological and aesthetic that marked the Renaissance, which put the man in the middle of all the questions, anxieties, quests, adventures, proposals and treatises. So Luther's theses are a consequence of the tremendous and grave consequences that triggered the Renaissance to us, the inhabitants of modernity and postmodernity. Luther himself glimpsed the future when he tried to qualify his initial proposal and said: "The Christian is a obedient servant is subjected to all. " But publicly burned the papal bull condemning 41 of his 95 theses. Then set about translating the New Testament into German original vulgar. If the Gospels were read throughout the world, this would eventually prove him right. That is why the Protestants call "evangelicals." And technically he did. The controversy spread throughout Europe. Protestants and Catholics argued answered.
Jacques Barzun says, "What was, in fact, what was in the" head and members of the Church that people wanted to delete? First, the "corruption" as always: rich greedy monks in abbeys, absentee bishops, priests with concubines, and others. But the moral debasement concealed a deeper failure: he had lost the sense of the papers. The priest, instead of being a teacher, was ignorant monk, far from helping to save the world with their devotion, was an idle speculator, the bishop, instead of monitoring the care of the souls of his diocese, was a politician and businessman. Perhaps here and there would be a pious and learned man, with what would prove to goodness it was not impossible. But too often the bishop was a boy of twelve, whose influential family was provided with time for your future happiness. The system was corrupted. This had been said time and again, yet the old shell was immovable. When people accept futility and the absurd as normal, the culture is decadent. "(P. 40)
Luther is excommunicated, but his followers kept him faithful. He married a nun and preached his refusal to celibacy, arguing with quotations from the Old Testament. Monarchs who had tired of their wives found the panacea to rest and try again. Henry VIII, in England, supported them to do it 6 times. Catholics saw confirmed his thesis of the Lutheran heresy.
Followers Luther founded the Reformed Church or Lutheran or Evangelical. Rome is based not on the divided and fractious Italian then, but the greatest empire of the moment: the Spain of Charles I, also V, of Germany, the land of Luther. Thus born the Counter and repression, torture, bonfires and censorship of the Inquisition. The Counter triumphs in the sense that reform can not oust the Catholic and marginalizes specific regions of Europe. However, it fails to prevent religious schism. To impose their Olympic quest marital, Henry VIII change the religion to a nation and create Anglicanism and not be born and the Church, but Protestant churches.

The actual result was not that the theocentrism had disintegrated completely, but Western man had to learn, despite himself, which in harmony, that truth was no longer a and absolute. Believing he was not so easy. The dogma was not unique. Had more than one church, more than a doctrine, more than a way of praying, and suddenly many ways to see God. Which was equivalent, compared to medieval thinking and feeling, that in less than a century, between 1517 and 1546, Western man had been without God. At least no one who had been accustomed to meet. And that would not be the only loss.
