Martin Luther's Letter to Pope Leo X
- Look at the language Luther uses, is he looking to break off a whole 'new religion' or just to help reform the Church? What is his tone (the choice of words he uses to describe the Pope and Church), what insight does that give you?
- In this formal edict from Charles V (why would a politician get involved in a religious matter?), what language does he use that helps give insight into his opinion of the 'Luther problem'?
Be sure to follow the H.I.P.P.O. model we went over in class, or see the link for a refresher.
