Martin Luther on 31st October, 1517 - 500 years ago - posted his 95 Thesis - the beginning of the Protestant Reformation. Just some notes I found on Google.
For the full explanation of the 95 Theses you need to go to the web site mentioned on the last sheet.
On Easter Eve, 4th April 1523, aided by Leonhard Koppe, he helped his future wife Katherine von Bora, a nun, escape from a convent where she and other nuns were dissatisfied.
They married about 2 years later. They had 6 children and raised 4 orphans including Katharina’s nephew, Fabian.
Katherina managed the monastery and operated the hospital on site.
Luther called her 'boss of Zulsdorf. ‘morning star’ for getting up at 4 am,and ‘My Lord Katie’. She respected him as a higher vessel and formally called him ‘Sir Doctor’ throughout her life
The marriage was extremely important to the development of the Protestant Church specifically in regards to its stance on marriage and the role of each spouse.
