It was On This
Day in 1521 that the Roman Catholic Church excommunicated Martin Luther. Luther
was a German theologian and monk who had first voiced his protests and doctrine
differences in 1517. He was called a heretic by many. He remained at odds with
the church until Pope Leo X issued his excommunication. It was this order of
the Pope that led to the formation of the Lutheran church and the Protestant
Reformation.
On
This Day is a prompt I started this month to further explore historical events.
I will make every effort to keep events localized to that of my research or
research I am conducting for others. However, from time to time, it will simply
be a subject that captured my attention.
Some posts will be brief while others
may be more detailed.

Hi Jeanne, this is a fantastic idea. I would love to do something like this, but don't have the time to blog every day, or even once a week sometimes, for that matter. Will visit often!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Karen! Daily is tough some times. I try to work ahead. You could - if you're interested in doing something similar - start with monthly events.
