Martin Luther:

In 1517, 500 years ago Martin Luther who ten years earlier was ordained an Augustinian monk posted 95 theses on the cathedral door in Willenberg in Germany. His protestations were firmly focused on his belief that the Christian could do nothing to make reparation for their sins. The other main protest was that Jesus was not truly and substantially present in the Mass. His followers became known as protestants. Over the 500 years the protestant church has broken into 25,000 different sects mainly in U.S.A.
