Martin Luther denied any error existed in his teachings and he was supported in his ideas by the German princes. Holy Roman Emperor Charles V found Luther’s teachings to be contrary to the whole of Christian tradition and upheld Catholic teaching from the diet until his eventual abdication in 1555. As a result, Luther came to rely on the German princes to protect him from imperial and ecclesial censure. The princes desired to break free of imperial power and gain greater control over the Church in their own territories. They aided Luther in instituting his notion of reform and Luther in turn capitulated to some of the princes’ demands to maintain their favor. Luther became a means for the princes to circumvent imperial and ecclesial authority. 2018-05-04 English text Athenaeum of Ohio / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=athe152544579683434 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=athe152544579683434 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: some rights reserved.
