You need to go to a library and read, a quick read, a book entitled HERE I STAND by Roland Bainton. That is the best biography on Luther for the average student.
He was conservative because he wanted to turn the Christian faith back to its original roots and liberal because he bucked Catholic authority by sticking to his guns on the 95 Theses. There is a lot more to it than that, those are the basics, and Bainton will tell you the rest.
Mark asks…
Why was the condemnation of Martin Luther in 1521 at Worms not enforced by the German nobility?

Why was the condemnation of Luther in 1521 at the Diet of Worms not enforced by the German nobility? What was the result?
Thanks!!!

Because some of the German princes – especially Frederick, Elector of Saxony – were “Protestants” who opposed the Edict of Worms.
Frederick “kidnapped” Martin Luther after Luther was released by the Diet of Worms and protected him for the next several years. By this time, a number of German princes and a significant number of the German people had aligned themselves with Luther, and the Holy Roman Emperor was no longer in a strong political position to neutralize Luther.

weight loss cardiff answers:
I am trying to figure this out too. I don’t really know what happened. But I know the Pope Leo X was trying to get Martin Luther to shut up basically. He didn’t want Martin to have any more influence. I know it caused a lot of violence. He survived the trip to Worms, and became famous. His idea’s “spread like wildfire” He eventually moved to Germany, married an ex-nun, had a large family, and then died in 1543 from a hard attack. I got this all from a website. Hope that helped/
