It is traditionally associated with <strong>Martin Luther&rsquo;s publication of his Ninety-Five Theses in 1517</strong>, although the movement emerged from much older disputes over theology, church authority, political power, and religious practice.</p> <p>What began as a dispute within the Western Christian Church eventually produced permanent divisions in European Christianity. Large parts of northern and central Europe broke with the authority of the <strong>Roman Catholic Church</strong>, while Catholic institutions responded with their own reforms and renewed efforts to defend Catholic doctrine.</p>
