The Change
Priests began to stop selling people's salvation. After Martin Luther began speaking, people began to realize many things from the catholic church & started leaving. After a while, the catholic church didn't have much power, so they began to change the statements, & even included some of Martin Luther's statements. John Calvin had the idea of predestination & some people feared they weren't selected to go to heaven.
