19. How did Martin Luther’s 95 Theses contribute to the start of the Protestant Reformation? * 1 point

Question

by arguing for predestination as the source of salvation
by refusing to grant divorces or annulments
by rejecting papal authority over the community of believers
by demanding religious leadership of government

Answer 1

The correct answer is: by rejecting papal authority over the community of believers.

Martin Luther's 95 Theses critiqued the Catholic Church's sale of indulgences and challenged the Pope's authority to grant forgiveness for sins. This rejection of papal authority ultimately led to the formation of the Protestant Reformation.
