3	Why is Martin Luther nailing his 95 Thesis here?
4	Luther’s 95 Thesis When our Lord and Master, Jesus Christ, said "Repent", He called for the entire life of believers to be one of repentance. The word cannot be properly understood as referring to the sacrament of penance, i.e. confession and satisfaction, as administered by the clergy. Yet its meaning is not restricted to repentance in one's heart; for such repentance is null unless it produces outward signs in various mortifications of the flesh. As long as hatred of self abides (i.e. true inward repentance) the penalty of sin abides, viz., until we enter the kingdom of heaven. http://www.spurgeon.org/~phil/history/95theses.htm

8	What was the Reformation in Europe during the 16^th century? The Reformation was a period of time in Europe when people wanted changes to be made in the Catholic church. It aimed to reform the entire institution of the Church. The reformers targeted certain major areas of change. They sought to improve the moral lives of the Clergy. They attempted to undermine the Papal claim to supreme authority. They asserted the political power and importance at the national level.
9	Why did the Europeans want changes in their church? The Church of Rome dominated Europe in the 16th century. Most of the socio-political and economic activities of various countries were highly influenced by the Church and the higher Clergy had become worldly and corrupt. People saw these irreligious acts in the name of religion. They did not like it. They desired a change in the entire Church system. This strong desire of the people led to a revolution in the religious life of Europe in the 16th century.
10	WHAT WERE THE REASONS FOR THE REFORM? There were several reasons for this revolt against tradition. Since the 13th century, the Roman Catholic Popes had paid less attention to their main work, that of spreading religion. They were occupied with other activities and pleasures of the world. In other words, they indulged in what their religion considered excess. They were also interested in the politics of Europe for personal reasons. The common people saw all this. Antagonistic feelings were clearly on the rise.
