A brief summary of Martin luther and the reformation Meghann Boehm

When I was just einjungermann I studied canon law • While Erfurt was a challenge it was just to please my pa • Then came the storm the lightning struck, I called upon St. Anne • I shaved my head I took my vows, an Augustinian

Papal Bulls, indulgences and transubstantiations Speak your mind against them and face excommunication • Nail your thesis to the door lets start a reformation • Papal bulls indulgences and transubstantiations.

When Tetzel came near Wittenburg, st Peters profits soared • I wrote a little notice for the All Saint’s Bulletin board • “You cannot purchase merits, for we’re justified by grace • Heres 95 more reasons, brother Tetzel in your face

They loved my tracts, adored my wit, all were exempleror • The pope however hauled me up before the emperor • “are these your books do you recant?” King Charles did demand • “I will not change my diet sir God help me where I stand”

Duke Frederick took the wise approach responding to my words • By knighting “George” as hostage in the Kingdom of the Birds. • Use brother Martins model if the languages you seek • Stay locked inside a castle with your Hebrew and your Greek

Let’s raise our steins and Concord books while gathered in this place • And spread the word that Catholic is spelled in lowercase • The word remains unfettered when the spirit gets his chance • So come on Katy drop your lute and join us in our dance

Martin Luther was a Law student attending Erfurt. His father was a miner and worked really hard to put him through college. • Lutherdid not like law school, and one day he got caught in a lightning storm while on a stroll. • Luther prayed to St. Anne, promising to become a monk if he survived the storm

Papal Bulls and indulgences were slips of paper from the catholic church that people would pay for to get rid of their sin. • Transubstantiation was the thought that the wine and the bread of communion actually had pieces of Jesus in them. • Excommunication is when the church kicks you out.

Tetzel was a Friar that was charged with collecting the indulgance fees. • The “notice on the all saints bulletins board” and the 95 reason are referencing the 95 thesis

Lutherwould write little booklets, or tracts that the common people liked because they were simple enough for non-theologians to understand. • King Charles asked him to recant his writings because they went against the Catholic Church.

Duke Frederick sheltered Martin from the Church • While Martin was being sheltered he translated parts of the bible from Latin into German. Back then the bible was all in Latin only the Priests could read it.

The Concord books were a set of boks that held Lutheran doctorines • “Catholic is spelled in lowercase” catholic-meaning universal, not the Super church. • Katherine Von Bora was Luthers wife.
