The 95 Theses was posted on Halloween by Martin Luther.

Martin Luther believes:
1. people win salvation by faith in God's gift of forgiveness.
2. all church teachings should be clearly based on words of the Bible.
3. all people with faith are equal. people do not need to interpret the Bible for them.

When Luther's ideas become popular, Pope Leo X issues a decree threatening Luther with excommunication unless he take's back his statements. Luther throws the decree into a bonfire infant of all his students. So, Pope Leo X excommunicates Luther.

Charles V- holy devout Christian leader who wants Luther to recant. Luther refuses, so Charles orders Luther to be put "on trial" at the Diet of Worms. Diet (assembly) Worms (City in Germany). Luther says "my conscience is captive to the World."

Luther is now decreed to be arrested. It is a crime for anyone in the empire to give Luther food or shelter. Luther escapes from "Worms". Prince Frederick puts him up in his castle for a year where he has security. Luther translates the New Testament to German.

When Luther returns to Wittenburg, many of his ideas were bring put into practice. His followers formed the Lutherns. Some princes were loyal to the pope and some were loyal to Luther.

Catholic is a term that means "universal" or "whole"

so today I got to lead the prayer. I had to do it twice, because people were in the bathroom and I had to say it again. we got a blizzard in school but mr. schick would not open the window till the end of class. we continued watching the guns, germs, and steel video. they traveled in the same latitude so they would get the same weather and vegetation. Americans consume up to 20 million tons of wheat a year. they are over 100 million cows in USA. jared diamond thinks all races are fundamentally similar.

The Etruscans settled Rome. The Greeks also settled Rome. The Greeks had many colonies around the Mediterranean Sea. The Latins originally settled in Rome first. Many of the streams flooded in the Tiber. The Punic war was fought between 264-146 BCE. There were three different ones fought. The farmers couldn't do anything so they moved to Rome. Julius Caesar lived Fromm 100-44 BCE and conquered the huge territory of Qual. Julius Caesar starts to rise in 60 B.C. Octavian forces the weak Lepidus to retire. After Octavian death, power was passed down to emperors. Caesar started a number of reforms. He only served one year as consul. He then appointed himself as governor of Qual. There was additional food and luxury items left for the wealthy. Rome was now going to be inheriting all of the grain, olive oil, metals, textiles, slaves, wine, and wild animals.
