Excerpt from Saints and Heroes: Since the Middle Ages ON the last day of October, in the year 1517, a German monk posted a paper on a\church door in Wittenberg. It was written in Latin, and was addressed to theologians. It contained a series of state ments concerning the doctrine and practice of indulgences. The writer desired to have the matter discussed.
