Answers
Explanation:
The immediate cause that started the reformation was Martin Luther's act of posting the Ninety-five Theses on the door of the Wittenberg Cathedral in the Holy Roman Empire. ... Luther posted the Theses in response to the sale of indulgences in nearby towns.
Answer:
Before the Reformation, there had been protests against the power of the Church and their abuses. However, these protests had been dealt with a heavy hand and early reformists had failed to bring up much change. The challenge was then taken by Martin Luther, a German priest. He raised a strong voice against the power abuse by the Church and the Pope. Many followed his footsteps soon and supported him in his endeavour. This proved to be the immediate cause of the Reformation.
