reformation day (se)
Happy Reformation Day!
It was on this day in 1517 that Martin Luther nailed the "95 Theses" on the church doors at Wittenberg, Germany. Contrary to some people's belief, this was not an act of defiance, as the church doors were a common public bulletin board. Luther's intention was to debate some things within the Catholic Church. However, the whole thing blew up and the Protestants seperated from the Catholics. Below is a link with which you can review the "95 Theses" in their English translation (original was in Latin):

When I saw this mentioned in your survey I wondered if you would elaborate on it. The link that you attached was helpful too. I don't think I've read the theses in their entirety. I learned about them overall in History when Martin Luther was discussed but there was no detail involved.
Well, it was an important part of history for a lot of people.
it is an important day for me since i am a recovering Catholic.. hahahaha. Thanks for posting this man for your readers..
Thanks for the reminder. May we hang these things in our heart and not on the door post.
Hiya. Just wanted to say hi. Bye. Just wanted to say bye.
