Before the 15th century the Roman Catholic Church held wielded incredible political, geographical, and financial power over the majority of Europe, as well as far beyond it. The hierarchy of the church came largely from the nobility and was substantially corrupted, leeching money and influence from the body of believers. Martin Luther is held as the man responsible for setting in motion a series of events that would break the absolute control of the church, beginning a series of fragments of the churches power into other churches headed by the different views and philosophies that were not allowed to assert themselves prior. This brief texts covers the entrance of Martin Luther into the Catholic world and how his actions altered the church forever.
