Episode 2 – The Protestant Reformation

Time for Reflection

What impact has this episode had on your thoughts about the way the Protestant Reformation shaped our current freedoms?

A MATTER OF PRINCIPLE

Martin Luther had to decide whether to stay silent and continue to follow the religious leaders blindly or to stand up for what he believed was wrong.

He thought about the decision for a long time, weighing the consequences and possible outcomes. He knew that speaking out could lead to backlash and ostracization from the community he held dear.

How would you react if you saw religious leaders abusing their power? Would  you speak out?
