Of course, the Pope also knew about Martin Luther's behavior, so the Pope was very angry now. The Pope knew that he had to get rid of Martin Luther, otherwise the consequences would be serious. So in 1521, the Pope convened

At the Worms Conference, Martin Luther was mainly invited to participate.

At this time, many people advised Martin Luther not to attend, because even a fool could see that the Pope had no good intentions at all and would definitely kill him, but Martin Luther simply did not

Despite the dissuasion, he still wanted to go, and even said: Even if there are as many devils in Waldemus as tiles on the roof, I will still go calmly! From here, it is not difficult to see that Martin at this time?

Luther believed that the popes were devils! Basically, he stripped the popes of their original divine power from the depths of their hearts and saw their true face clearly.

Then, accompanied by more than a hundred Saxon nobles, and in a triumphal procession along the road, Martin Luther arrived in Worms. At this time, the Pope must have thought that he was guilty of a heinous crime, and the Pope was here to cancel it.

His religious membership, and then he would be killed, so the Pope asked him if he would admit his mistakes. There must be a threat in this. Martin Luther obviously knew this, but he still refused

He admitted his mistake and defended himself righteously, which won the sympathy and support of the people of Worms. He also solemnly declared at this meeting: I insist on my opinion and will never go back on it! This also means that

Martin Luther has completely broken with the Roman Church this time. But many people are currently protecting Martin Luther, and he also has the support of the people in the city. The Pope knows that if he kills Martin Luther now, the consequences will be

It's simply too serious. So the Pope has no choice but to let Martin Luther go and excommunicate Martin Luther.

In the end, Martin Luther also knew that the Pope, or the countless demons in the church, would never let him go so easily, and would definitely find any opportunity to kill him, so he secluded himself in a place he thought was safe.

The place, called Wartburg, was engaged in the German translation of the Bible.

In 1525, Martin Luther, who was already 42 years old, married Paula, a renegade nun, and launched the most serious challenge to Catholic asceticism with practical actions! In 1543

, the German version of the Bible translated by Martin Luther was published. In the book, Martin Luther restored the spirit of early Christian democracy and equality, which provided the people with ideological weapons to fight against Catholicism. He also

He added his own belief in Jesus to be saved, which eventually became the main doctrine of Christianity! In addition, the Bible he translated was in the German language. This unified language became an important link between the divided German states.

.

In February 1546, Martin Luther died of illness and was buried in the Wittenberg Cathedral Cemetery at the age of sixty-three. After his death, the new Christianity he founded spread in various European countries.

, set off a vigorous religious reform movement. By talking about this, we have finished understanding the life of Martin Luther, and we have also seen the subsequent changes in religious doctrines. Of course, there must have been many bloody incidents, but

We won’t discuss those things here. Anyway, we will continue to discuss the church reform events soon. The main purpose is to have a more detailed discussion. Let’s take a look at it together.

It is now the early sixteenth century. As we have said before, the church's divine right has been questioned. The main factor is the beginning of the use of the Atonement Roll as a medium. Therefore, in order to protect their interests, the churches in the German region have taken this approach to the entire

Various purges have been carried out in the German region. We can understand that the church is currently using violence! The church has an army. Is this a joke? So in the past many years in the German region, countless civilians have died, even dead

There are many nobles who don't want to pay taxes to the church. In short, if the church wants someone to die, the church's priests will always have various methods.

In the end, this led to the expansion of the power of the church in the German region again, and the violent suppression of those who opposed the church's teachings. Although they were suppressed, the people no longer believed in the church's nonsense, so they would not proceed.

Purchasing indulgences will not devoutly contribute their wealth to the church, so the church's income will be greatly reduced. As a result, the church's clergy will not have enough money to maintain their extravagant and dissolute lives.

, so the church insiders came up with a way to extort people from all German regions on the pretext of selling their priesthoods, take bribes, and then continue to live their luxurious and corrupt lives. They made clever names, filled their own pockets, and amassed huge amounts of money.

This atrocity once again aroused great indignation in society.

It was during this period that various feudal lords relied on their own power to seize land, arbitrarily set high taxes, defraud people's wealth, and acted tyrannically. Therefore, the land and property that farmers relied on for survival gradually concentrated in the church, and also

In the hands of various feudal lords. The poor life and extremely heavy labor, coupled with the phenomenon of lack of food and clothing, eventually aroused very strong dissatisfaction and resistance from the farmers. Because the farmers understood

, if they don't resist, they will really have no choice but to die. After all, farmers starve to death every day. Instead of starving to death, it is better to fight for their lives. Maybe they can win, right?

So these civilians don't farm anymore, because even if they farm so hard, they can't get food themselves, and they will eventually starve to death on the fields. It's better not to farm. So far, they have organized themselves one after another and started riots.

This led to the peasant uprising against the church and feudal lords.

However, the church and feudal lords would also carry out large-scale massacres of peasants, which made the peasants even more angry! After all, the feudal lords wanted the peasants to continue working, but the peasants did not work, so they killed them. The church

They also hope that the farmers will work quickly, otherwise how can they plunder? If the farmers do not work, they will have no wealth. Then the contradictions within Germany are becoming increasingly acute, and the farmers, burning with anger against religious forces and feudal lords, secretly established a secret society in the south.

Shoe Society. They used a flag with a shoe as their flag and began to fight against the nobles wearing long boots.

They still have to continue doing farm work, otherwise they really can't survive, so they gather together every year, and then kill corrupt officials and smash up churches, so that no one will plunder the food they cultivated this year.

One is that after killing corrupt officials or smashing up churches, these Shoe Society members will evenly divide the property of the original church, and even the property of corrupt officials and the land. Why is this? Because these farmers actually

They also know the truth, what truth? The truth is that whether it is corrupt officials or the church’s land and property, it was all created by the farmers. They fully understand this, so they think it is not called robbery.

It's about taking back what is rightfully theirs.

But the feudal lords and the church were not fools. They used the food and wealth created by the farmers to support the army in large quantities. Although the people in these armies were from the German region, we can say at present that although these armies were German

People from the region and people from the Shoe Society are also people from the German area, but their positions are completely different. So every year when people from the Shoe Society want to kill corrupt officials and smash churches to get back the wealth that should belong to them, these feudal lords

And the army supported by the church would carry out large-scale massacres of the peasants of the Shoe Society. Every year, rivers of blood flowed and mutilated limbs were left everywhere.

So we can say that every year's harvest season is a scene like a hell festival in Germany. The countless dead farmers are simply too horrible to watch. Moreover, every year the church and the feudal lords join forces to always bring down the peasants of the Shoe Society.

They were completely suppressed with this extremely bloody method. And the farmers also understood that those who killed them were people from their German area. Even a fool could see it. Therefore, this aroused the German farmers' hatred towards them.

Hatred, it seems that this hatred can only be resolved with bloody violence in the end.

Thomas Munzer is a lower-level priest in the church. He himself has witnessed the corruption and depravity of the upper-level church with his own eyes. He has also completely seen the truth of the entire church world, so he also sees countless shoe clubs every year.

He knew that this was definitely not the will of God. This was the intention of the higher-ups of their church. In other words, it was because some people in the church were extravagant and lustful for their extravagant and extravagant quality of life.

And carried out a large-scale massacre.

Münzer understood that God would not persecute the people in this way, and God saves the people, so Münzer firmly opposed the pope's laissez-faire and even luxury, and opposed all oppression and exploitation. So Münzer now began to actively spread his ideas,

Because there were very few people who could speak for the people during this period. Even those who dared to speak would be killed by the church. Even some nobles would kill him if they disliked him for being in the way. This is a law in itself without any

It's just an era of meaning, and even if it's legal, it's legal for the nobles and the church to assemble troops to kill civilians, because they say the civilians are robbing! Being killed for robbing is legal in the first place.

Moreover, the peasants also killed people from their nobility and church, so no matter how we understand it, people from the church and nobility are legal, and there is no illegal behavior. It is under this situation that Münzer preached
Chapter completed!
