The Writer's Almanac from American Public Media

The Writer's Almanac from American Public Media: "It was on this day in 1521 that Pope Leo X excommunicated Martin Luther for condemning the Catholic Church in his 95 theses. Luther was a professor of biblical interpretation at the time in Germany, and he could find no text in scripture that permitted the church to make money by selling indulgences for the forgiveness of sins."

I find it interesting that what got Luther in trouble is so obvious today. You wonder what doctrine we hold today will be considered in the same light 500 years from now?
