From the Paper:

"In the 15th Century came the reformation of the Church through the leadership of Martin Luther initially through the nailing of his Ninety-Five Theses to the door of the Wittenberg Church. That document embodied an attack on papal abuses and the sale of indulgences by church officials.

This part of history brought forth the division of the Catholic Church and its reformation. Protestantism led to the establishment of different sects and congregations in the early part of history towards the present day."
