Throughout the eras of the Middle Ages, many Protestants demanded a personal relationship with God without the influence of the Catholic Church. Protestants began to think for themselves as a religion, and Martin Luther was the first to lead the way. Martin Luther first went to Wittenberg, Germany, and made a list of complaints he had with the Catholic Church. Shortly afterward he published his notebook of complaints at the door of a German church, and he called them the Ninety-Five Theses. In response, Pope Leo X excommunicated Luther in 1521. The Catholic Church was in conflict with the Protestant religion, as Protestants sought an individual relationship with God. The contrasting ideas of the Church and Protestants gave rise to a major conflict between the two. The pastor of the church had spoken the Bible in Latin, so the congregation could not understand what the priest was saying. Additionally, the Catholic Church began selling indulgences in the Middle Ages. When an indulgence was purchased for a certain amount of money, it ensured that the individual would not have to go through purgatory long to reach God in heaven. Many Protestants disagreed with this idea because they thought the idea of ​​indulgences was "a bribe" to enter heaven. Another teaching on which Protestants disagreed with the Church was that one must be saved by good deeds. Protestants believed that one was saved by the grace of God and not by works. Additionally, Protestants initially spoke peacefully about Church issues, but the Church was ignorant and unwilling to respond to Protestants.

The Church made many improvements to persuade all individuals to accept the Catholic faith. Protestants contradicted the ideals of the Roman Catholic Church and ultimately turned against it during the Reformation. Having a personal relationship with God meant that Protestants would do anything to have the freedom to exercise their faith in God. In conclusion, the Roman Catholic Church tried to change its rituals after the Protestants left, but the Protestants did not return and give the Roman Catholic Church a second chance..
