Many other thinkers started to protest against the church, like Thomas More and Desiderius

He was monk devoted to god's will that experienced the corupption inside the church and wanted to change that.

He published 95 theses against some actions of the church, like the selling of indulgences, because they are not suposed to affect the judge of god.

He started to teach the people the treu values of the bibble, he also translated the bibble fromt latin to german so everyone could read it.

At first the church officials thought that Luther was just a rebellius monk that needed a punishment, however Luther ideas became more popular.

The Pope Leo X excomunicated Luther and delared him an outlaw and a heretic

Even with this threatens Luther and his followers continued with the reformation, until the point that the protestants were partially accepted.
