I, Martin Luther, a Catholic priest and monk, believe that many of the Catholic Church's practices are wrong. Take the sale of Indulgences. The Bible never said that Indulgences were sold for business! It is a spiritual practice to get out of purgatory, not for the Church's money.

Also, the Church needs to stop being so political. The Church is supposed to be our religious leaders. Priests and bishops need to take their role more seriously. They need to do their job and look like who they are supposed to be.

The Church also should stop threatening excommunication over everyone and putting innocents on trial where they are tortured or killed. Nowhere in the Bible does it say to do this.

We are to love Christ, and follow his teachings. The Church has turned what he has taught us into something horrible. This needs to stop.

After the Diet of Worms I was kidnapped by Prince Friedrich the Wise, but it was for my own protection from the Church. I had the false identity of Sir George and wrote many more works. I didn't know that my former professor had told Wittenberg's people to start a revolt...a rebellion against the Church. There was violence and 50,000-100,000 deaths. It was not at all what I had in mind. But it really did change the world.
