In 1517, Martin Luther posted his 95 Theses. The main purpose of the 95 Theses was to protest the sale of indulgences. The Catholic Church taught that indulgences could grant people remission of the punishment of sin, and Luther challenged this practice by arguing that salvation could not be purchased and was instead obtained through faith and repentance. His actions sparked the Protestant Reformation and led to significant changes in Christianity.
