Protestantism also being the protestant movement
The protestant movement was founded by Martin Luther a Germany monk, theologian, university professor and a church reformer.

In the political decision called the Diet of speyer (where the Roman catholic church was conspiring to destroy Martin Luther's and his protestant reformation in 1529), this is when the protestant church emerged as a self independent movement separate from the Roman Catholic church, because Martin Luther as the leader of the protestant movement believed that the catholic church which had the Pope as their leader, had a strayed, and gone a way from the basic teachings of Jesus Christ (the bible).
Martin Luther sharply spoke against the Roman Catholic Church, where he openly discussed about their wrong doings, and the corruption that was taking place at that time among the leaders of the Roman Catholic Church,
In his argument he also stated that the Catholic Church was no longer teaching the people the importance of putting their faith in Jesus Christ as their Messiah.
Martin Luther become famous all over the world because he was one of the men that made the bible accessible to all believers in the poor and high class, yet when the Catholic Church was making it's members to depend more on it's organized system so that they may be able to receive teachings from the ordained system of the Catholic Church.
Martin Luther also encouraged the low class Christian citizens to look at themselves as Kings and priests of God because of what Jesus Christ had accomplished for their lives through His death and resurrection.
