SOCIAL MOVEMENT OF MARTIN LUTERO

Social movements are essential to change the path of a society.

"The interesting thing about social movements is that in the end, part of the bureaucracy that tries to change is changed"

Social movements need organization, leadership and resources if they ever hope to gain momentum and make an impact, because without this the goal of a movement cannot be reached; A social movement needs a solid organizational base to recruit members and then unite them into one idea.

The social movement that Martin Luther started against the Catholic Church resulted in Protestantism; Protestantism is a religious movement that originated in the 16th century to refer to Christians who separated from the Catholic Church after the Protestant Reformation.It was the sale of indulgences to finance the construction of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome that started the Protestant Reformation, which would finally cause western Christianity to divide into two: one led by the Catholic Church, which after the Council de Trento claimed herself as the true heir to Western Christendom, expelling any dissent and subjecting herself to the jurisdiction of the pope, and another half who founded several ecclesial communities of their own, generally of a national character to, for the most part, reject the inheritance. medieval Christian and seek the restoration of an idealized primitive Christianity.

This resulted in Europe being divided between a number of countries that recognized the pope, as the highest pontiff of the Catholic Church, and countries that rejected Catholic theology and the authority of Rome and received the common name of Protestants. This division caused a series of religious wars in Europe.From then on, Europe was like a market place for different churches that aspired to conquer the hearts and minds of Christians. Catholicism could appeal to a long and illustrious heritage, while Protestantism seemed to fit better with the spirit of the time.

Martin Luther must be the most impressive and influential character in the last 500 years on the Christian theme.
