उत्तर
In the second quarter of the 16th century, Martin Luther, a German clergyman, and professor of Theology at the University of Wittenburg, openly criticised papacy (office of the pope). He accused the Church of the sale of indulgences. In 1512, in a pilgrimage to Rome, he found the clergymen living in luxurious life. He strongly opposed the Church. The ‘Diet of Worms’ (council of Princes and high dignitaries in 1521) ordered to burn the writings of Luther and to outlaw him. But the support of German rulers saved him and the movement was described as the German Protestant Movement.
