The Protestant Movement that started in 16th century Europe brought about a significant change in the religious landscape. The movement originated from Martin Luther's Ninety-five Theses, which criticized the Roman Catholic Church's corruption and abuse of power. The Protestant Movement created fundamental principles such as justification by faith alone, the priesthood of all believers, and the authority of scripture over tradition. It resulted in the formation of various denominations like Lutheranism, Calvinism, Anglicanism, and Methodism. Synonyms for the Protestant Movement include the Reformation, Protestant Reformation, Protestant Revolution, and Protestantism. The Protestant Movement paved the way for religious freedom and diversification, contributing to the advancement of intellectual, social, and political movements.
