Question

Which of the following was an effect of Martin Luther’s writings?

Answer 1

Answer:

A decrease in the political authority of the church as a result of changing religious theology

Explanation:

Martin Luther's writings led to the break up of the Catholic Church in Western and Central Europe. This is because Martin Luther's writings were very critical of certain practices of the Catholic Church, from its theology, to its practices, to its administration.

Followers of Martin Luther founded new church denominations, and were collectively known as Protestants. These new denominations weakened the Catholic Church, specially in Northern and Central Europe.
