Lutheranism began when Luther, annoyed at the [[Catholic Church]]'s [[sale of indulgences|selling indulgences]] and other practices that he considered to be non-scriptural, posted his [[95 Theses]] on the doors of churches throughout Germany. Unable to reach an accommodation with Rome over the differences, Luther and his followers broke away from the Catholic Church and formed what became known as the Lutheran Church. This breaking away was the beginning of the [[Protestant Reformation]].
