The Ninety-Five Theses also revealed the church was far beyond rehabilitation. The Ninety-Five Theses sparked far more than a debate. These were intended to spark a debate, to stir some soul-searching among his fellow brothers in the church. Martin Luther, a scholar, took quill in hand, dipped it in his inkwell and penned his Ninety-Five Theses on October 31, 1517. Pilgrims would come from all over, genuflect before the relics, and take hundreds, if not thousands, of years off time in purgatory. On November 1, 1517, a massive exhibit of newly acquired relics would be on display at Wittenberg, LutherвЂ™s home city. Can we buy our way into heaven? Luther had to speak out.Д«ut why October 31? November 1 held a special place in the church calendar as All SaintsвЂ™ Day. All of this sickened the monk Martin Luther. Albert, with the papal blessing, would sell indulgences for past, present, and future sins. When Albert of Mainz appealed for a papal dispensation, Leo X was ready to deal. Enter the artists and sculptors, Raphael and Michelangelo. From the De Medici family, Leo X greedily allowed his tastes to exceed his financial resources. So Albert appealed to the pope in Rome, Leo X. Not only was he bishop over two bishoprics, he desired an additional archbishopric over Mainz. LetвЂ™s meet the cast.ДЇirst, there is the young bishop-too young by church laws-Albert of Mainz.

The story has all the makings of a Hollywood blockbuster. He had been greatly disturbed by an unprecedented indulgence sale. Brother Martin, a monk and a scholar, had struggled for years with his church, the church in Rome. A single event on a single day changed the world.
