Dr. Martin Luther nailed to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany, an invitation to debate this and 94 other theses<\/a>.  While not the actual beginning of the Protestant Reformation, it was an act of speaking truth to power that in time shook the western church to its foundations and ultimately resulted in the Lutheran church, and numerous other branches, splitting from it.  A century early, Jan Hus was teaching against indulgences, so that controversy was not new to Luther.
